A member asked:

I'm pregnant with chest pain and shortness of breath. i will not have a chest ct angiogram. will the drs just put me on heparin without me havin ct?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Discuss with doctor: How far along are you in your pregnancy? Abdomen can be shielded to minimize exposure to the fetus. It is not feasible to advise without knowing more about your health.
