    Think I had a heart attack, scared to try for a baby

    I've posted several times about this before..but it's back on my mind as I would like to try for a baby.
    When I was 24, few weeks pregnant with my son I was lying on the sofa.. I went to stand up and when I took a breath I couldn't breathe in deeply, like it felt as though there was something in my chest blocking me from breathing deeply...it hurt if I tried to. Pain radiated in to my lower jaw and my left arm felt numb/achy... I had my daughter with me and by the time I'd got clothes on and went to drop her at my mom's just round the corner the pain had stopped.. But I had a slower than normal heart rate. It all lasted around 20/25 minutes...

    In the end I didn't call 999, I just text my midwife who never got back to me.. I booked a Dr's appointment later that week and they blew it off but I really think it was a heart attack and now Its putting me off getting pregnant again...really want one more to complete our family but not at the risk of this happening again and me dying..

    I don't know what to do about it now tho because its been 4 years since it happened and Dr's never sent me for blood tests or anything.

    Sorry this is so long, just need advice!

    You did not have a heart attack.

    Not sure what advice to offer on the basis that you did not (100%) have a heart attack.


    I'm sure a Fishmanpa will be along shortly to concur.

    That wasn't a heart attack - you are fine.

    I know it sounds stupid that I'm still Worrying about it now, but it made me anxious for the remainder of that pregnancy and I dont want to feel like that this time around x
