I am 16 years old and currently 30 weeks pregnant. Ever since I entered my third trimester, my health has seemed to go downhill. Most of it is pretty typical stuff (my hips and back hurt more, I'm almost always tired, I have heartburn, etc), but the last few days have really worried me. Yesterday, out of nowhere, I suddenly felt an unusual pain in my throat and chest, followed by a feeling of my heart racing. The feeling left as soon as it had come, but then I felt it again a few more times. Since then, my chest has been feeling ache and I feel a sharp, stabbing pain whenever I take a deep breath. I am more short of breath than usual (I have asthma, so I feel short of breath quite often) and I've felt some what lightheaded and dizzy since the episode yesterday.
So, my questions are:
Should I set up an appointment with my doctor for this week (not scheduled to see my OB for 2 weeks)?
Should I go to the emergency room if the chest pain keeps up?
Or
Should I just suck it up and let it go, like I have to do for all the pains that come with pregnancy?
