Q. Are chest pain and breathing problem common in pregnancy?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

• Pregnancy has many transformations in the body and much burden on heart work increases. Mild breathlessness and chest discomfort is common during pregnancy.

• Because of pregnancy, they cannot do many tests, which may be harmful to baby.

• They can do echo and lung nuclear scan if there is high suspicion of pulmonary embolism present. They may think of less risk of pulmonary embolism after examination, hence not recommended as many tests.

• Your doctor can monitor you. So, if necessary, they can do further testing. Take care.
