    Am I having a heart attack? (Pregnant)

    I haven’t been on this site for a while. I try to avoid it as much as I can when my anxiety is more under control, but this scared me tonight.

    Background: I’m a female in my early 30s. I’m expecting my third child (I’m second trimester). I have dealt with anxiety heart stuff before with palpitations. I also have SIBO, which causes acid reflux and bloating.

    Yesterday, I had pain in my shoulder blades that I assumed was gas pain. I also had typical SIBO symptoms. Tonight, I started getting the shoulder blade pain again, but only on the right side. Then I felt the pain go down my arm and then to the right side of my jaw and neck.

    I try to calm myself down and say it’s from carrying a heavy diaper bag, but it’s been concerning.

    i hate to the go the ER only to look like an idiot, but I also don’t want to be an idiot by ignoring signs of real issues.

    It is unlikely, and could definitely be from carrying the bag. If it continues, could you call your midwife (or equivalent).

    I saw your post yesterday and was going to reply but as Scass stated, highly unlikely. There was no mistaking something was terribly wrong with my two heart attacks and I was straight off to the ER with both of them! I can assure you I wouldn't be on an internet forum waiting for reassurance!
