Now I been having the dull pain in the right side of my chest kind of by my ARM pit right above my breast and everytime I breath it hurts also my feet are extremely swollen. I checked my bp the other day at the store and it was 157/101... should I be concerned? what could this possibly be?

hi thanks for writing to us
your high bp is of definite concern
you need immediate medical attention
pregnancy induced hypertension can occur even after delivery
swelling of both feet definetly goes in favour of pregnancy induced hypertension
pain in the arm pit could be due to accesory breast tissue.
