What Causes Chest Pain During Pregnancy?

I am 6 1/2 months pregnant. Woke up this morning having chest pain. I didnt pay mind to it and continued with my day. Afternoon I took two Tylenol thinking the pain would go away and it hasn't. The pain is my dead center chest, in between my breast. Feeling like I can't breath. Like my chest is Caving in and someone punched me there a few times. What is it?????

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
By your history and description, possibility of musculoskeletal pain is more likely.
But better to rule out cardiac chest pain first.
So get done blood pressure monitoring and ecg.
If both these are normal then no need to worry for heart diseases.
Apply warm water pad on affected areas.
Avoid movements causing pain.
Take painkiller and muscle relaxant drugs.
Don't worry, you will be alright with all these.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
