Chest pain during pregnancy?

[Carly1409]

Hi all. Just wondering if anyone has had similar experiences. The last few days I've been having chest pain (more to the left of the chest) but it can come on when I'm moving around or just sitting still, I've also had a headache that feels 'pressure' like.. when I bend over or stoop down I feel it more, around the forehead. I feel overly tired this last week and my eyes have that heavy dazed feeling. Baby is still moving around as normal.. just wondering if these symptoms are something to be concerned about?🤔 xx

OP, with any new symptoms in pregnancy I would phone your midwife if there is an out of hours number, or if you are nearly due your local ward. If not then 111 is the bets place to start.

Not normal to have chest pain in pregnancy - although it may turn out to be totally fine, you definitely need to be seen by a doctor. Lots of different possible causes for all your symptoms (and would depend on how many weeks you are) but bottom line you need to get checked out.

Thanks everyone! Went and got checked out, after an ECG, chest X-ray and bloods everything turned out to be normal. However a urine infection was detected 🤔 but elsewhere, all good!

Have you had your iron checked recently? I’m sure when my iron was low, chest pains was mentioned as one of the symptoms to watch out for
