What Causes Pain In Chest And Palpitations In Pregnancy?

Hi, i am a 26 year old female para 3 and pregnant with number four. Since having my third i have had palpatations, and left chest/shoulder discomfort that comes on at random times, not worsened by exercise. I have had ambulatory monitoring (bp and trace) ecg (normal) and was diagnosed with sinus tachycardia, and a mild systolic mumur, but have cardiac issues in the family and am worried this discomfort may be related???

Hi
I have through your complaints.its quite common to have fear regarding diseases if they are in family.but you did not mention what problems of heart your family members.chest pain not increased by exercise and palpitation and ecg showing sinus tachycardia and mild systolic murmur needs to exclude anemia.check your hemoglobin levels.if anemia present start measures to improve hemoglobin.deit rich in iron like joggery and fruits like pomogronate and drugs like Hbset one tab daily advised.as your saying it is after 3 rd child go for echo to role out postpartum dilated cardiomyopathy.
Thank you
