Nauseated, Irregular Period, Having Vivid Dreams, Pain In Breast Bone. Tested For Pregnancy. Is It Heartburn?

Hi, I've got a few symptoms that lead me to think I could be pregnant but when I did a pregnancy test on Saturday which I thought was a day before my period was due it was negative. For about a week I kept getting nauseous, usually when I ate but it passed very quickly. I've been having very vivid dreams for about a week & I don't usually remember my dreams. Then a couple of times in the last few days I've had a really sharp pain behind my right breastbone which I thought could be heartburn. It's not constant pain & passes after about 10 minutes but it is quite painful when it hits me. I haven't tested for pregnancy again because sometimes my cycle has gone to 37 days which would be this Sunday. I just wondered if I'm right in thinking the pain behind my breastbone is heartburn? Thanks, Bex

Hello, I would be happy to help you with your question.

It sounds like you are not pregnant as your tests are negative. Therefore, the symptoms you are experiencing are not related to pregnancy. These might be related to your cycle, and certainly the pain in the chest could be related to heartburn. Given that this is also the location of your heart, it might be worth running this by your doctor (who knows your history better) and make sure that there is no concern or need for further evaluation.

I hope that this helps. If you have more questions, please click on "ASK ME A QUESTION" link above to directly ask me a question!
