Chest pain/ heartburn

Hello. I'm 26 weeks pregnant and tonight had my 5th episode in 5 weeks of extreme chest pain. It's so very painful when it happens and usually happens after eating, only 10 mins or so after a meal. My husband is convinced it's heartburn/ indigestion but I'm worried it's something else. I had indigestion with both other pregnancies but never like this. These episodes leave me sweating and in so much pain. Tonight I times the laitn and it lasted an hour even though I took gaviscon immediately. Once it finished I had no energy and just went to sleep. I've woken up worried about it.

Has anyone else had this level or pain with heartburn? Thanks in advance.

I had the same. I would be very confident that it's heartburn as you've mentioned it's after eating. However, absolutely no harm in checking with your GP to put your mind at ease. And, of course, if you get breathless or any other heart attack systems when it happens, ring an ambulance!

Symptoms obviously meant to say!

Thank you for your reply @GhostPenguin
I've watched my diet super carefully this week and haven't eaten anything like crisps till today and it happened again about 20 mins after I had them so I'm confident it is heartburn/indigestion and means I need to be super keen to eat well for the rest of the pregnancy. Thank you for your response and reassurance :)
