Suggest Treatment For Stretched Muscle In Chest For A Pregnant Woman

I am in my thrid trimester of pregnancy and I sneezed really hard about a week ago and immediately had chest pain. Is it possible that I pulled a muscle. What should i do for treatment and how long should the pain last? The pain is so great at times that it brings tears to my eyes. I was told that nothing could be done since I am pregnant. I was told that I could only take tylenol and try not to sneeze anymore. Any information would be great.

Hello dear,I understand your concern.In my opinion the due to sneezing strongly the muscle might have gone into spasm.Dont worry.Apply hot fomentation and topical irritants like balms.As you are pregnant no intervention can be done.But mostly it will subside with these measures.And avoid physical strain.
