What Causes Heart Palpitations, Severe Back And Chest Pain Postpartum?
I am 6 weeks postpartum and experiencing heart palpitations since the week after I delivered. Last night I had pretty bad back pain in my upper back and pain in my chest. I assumed it was from being hunched over and holding my newborn. The pain went away after I slept last night, would this be normal for simple muscle strain?

Hello,
This can be related to anxiety more than to muscle pain since you are having palpitations. You also may need to visit an endocrinologist.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
