Hi,
Panic disorders during pregnancy tend to make more concerned about pregnancy & the disorder itself.
You are already having CBT & get good response. Please some relaxation techniques which will help you.
The chest pain on left side & palpitation can not be heart trouble.. as the site of pain there is different.
To satisfy yourself .. get yourself examined by a cardiologist..an assurance from him will satisfy you .. & this will remove your symptoms too.
Thanks.
