Braxton hicks and chest tightness pain

Latasha

I have non stress tests twice weekly. Every time they tell me I have a contraction, I feel weird - like my chest gets really tight and I have a hard time taking full breaths. I had 3 conractions during my 20 minute test this morning, and I am having more now. I'm just wondering why they feel so different to me than they seem to for everyone else - stomach tightening, back pains, etc. Does anyone else just get the tightness in their chest?
