Suggest Treatment For Chest Pain And Breathing Difficulty During Pregnancy
I m 32 weeks and 6 days pregnant and I am having terrible chest pains and it s hard to breath. I went to the hospital last week and they said I have a possible blood clot in my lungs but I refused the ct scan. They also told me that if it seems to get worse to come back. I m not sure what to do and I am scared for the safety of my child. What should I do?

Hello,
Chest pain and shortness of breath warrant thorough investigations. If your doctor is considering lung thrombosis you should go back immediately and have the CT scan done as this is a medical emergency. This is important for your child's life and for your life as well.
I hope this answers your query.
I remain at your disposal in case further medical assistance is needed.
