Chest wall pain while pregnant???? Please help me

HI everyone I just found out I was pregnant about a week ago So Im suppose to be 6 weks tomorrow not quite sure yet but that the estimated guess till my appt....anyways I have always had quick sharp pains in my chest wall and everyone told me it was pluersy So I blw it off as that nd actually have been getting them since I was 18.....They came every couple of months and they would be so bad they would last for 2 hours or more where I Could hardley breath...andways since then I have had my heart checked (recently like a months ago) I had all the tests done. everything is perfect. I went and saw a doc b/c I was having heart palpations which I got while I was pregnant with my first they just never went away :/.....anyways I am now pregnant I am 23 years old, I am not overweight or anything. I have been getting chest wall pain which is pain in random areas in my chest sometimes it feel like the top of my lungs then the next one will hit it will be the bottom part of my lungs it comes and goes more frequnetly now that I am pregnant and there quick they last about a second to 5 min at the most. I can sometimes get them in my upper part of my back. I do not get short of breath, dizzy, sweaty racing heart, just the pain. It can happen all day or just a couple times a day. WHAT IS THIS ??? has anyone else experienced this while pregnant or not? I heard it can be from the increase in hormones is that true? I am already paranoid about this pregnancy due to my last and after the fact of aquiring horrible panic attacks. So When I get pain I automatically think blood clot :/ But it been 3- 4 days now and I have had these pains b4 I was pregnant. So can anyone help me!!
Thank you!!

Well, I used to get chest pains unable to breathe and then pass out... I was goin to the hosp all the time and one done an xray and a test and said I got inflammed lungs... go to hosp for that not docs LOL.

And the ventalin shouldnt make it worse, It opens everything up and helps more... helps me. And my athsma hasnt existed for years, well except in the winter... its ALWAYS worse on Xmas day? LOL..

Although if it was inflammed lungs, they would have died down now, but just ask to make sure, if you ask your doc say a friend you know had exactly the same problem and turns out she had inflammed Lungs.


Hope everything is okay.

Thanks for replying. I was told I was when I was younger and when I took inhaler it made me worse so I just delt with it. I will talk to my doctor about it when I see her. i have not been tested for inflammed lungs how do they do that? could they see that on a chest x-ray?

Are you athsmatic?
If not you might wanna see a doc and invest in a Venatlin inhalor...
My athsma went away when I was little, but Now has come bback again and the ventalin opens your lungs and chest. Have you been tested for inflammed lungs?
