Pulmonary embolism???

Question

Has anyone ever experienced this in pregnancy and what was your symptoms? I have been short of breath about 4 days with upper back pain (over and across my shoulders ) it's really bugging me. I have been to the doctor and he took my blood pressure Which was normal , my oxygen levels are normal and my lung sound clear .. but I just don't feel right ! I'm freaking myself out. 😞

Answer

If you had a PE it would feel as though you are drowning. You wouldn’t get sufficient oxygen in. Your lungs would not be clear and your oxygen levels would be low. 
Sounds like you’re over thinking symptoms. 
Trust your doctor, try different positions or slow deep breaths till you can catch your breath.

Answer

If you are seriously scared and feel terrible then go to the ER. Trusting your gut can never hurt.

Answer

When baby is up near my ribs I’m more out of breath and tightness in my shoulders.
