What Causes Tightness/pain In Chest And Throat During Pregnancy?

Hello there. I m writing because I have serious concerns about my VERY recent chest pains and tightness in chest and throat. It hurts when I breath and wondering if I should just get some over the counter medication or consider if it s more serious than that. I am 20 weeks pregnant and this morning I noticed that I had a slight dry cough. Now it s 10:53 p.m and am having a tight feeling in my chest and also my throat. Hurts when I breath. Seems weird that my cough has became more serious in less than 24 hours. Please give me some advise on what I should do. Wasn t worried until my mother said that tightness in the chest is a warning sign of some sort. . .Not sure, so please give me some much needed information. Thank you for your time.
