What Causes Severe Pain In The Back And The Chest?
I'm pregnant and I have been have back pains that spread throughout my whole back and chest. I also have a low grade fever and it is hard to move and breathe. I checked my heart rate and it is 110-120 bpm average. I am 16 weeks pregnant. Should I go to the ER?

Hi,
It seems that you might be having some infection in the body giving this problem.
Commonest cause might be having urinary tract infection at this period.
Go for routine blood and urine test to know the type of infection.
Consult your Obst and get examined.
Routinely at this stage of pregnancy due to fullness in the abdomen due to child carrying stage backache is common due to change of posture but as you are having fever so infection is to be ruled out.
Ok and take care.
