Psychotherapy: Ask your OBGYN for a referral to a psychologist for an eval. A few sessions might tell if talk therapy can guide you thru this or if preg-safe meds are needed too. This is important to do now to reduce the risks of severe post-partum depression/anx. That's harder to treat - and the baby demands are greater. Planning for the life changes is easier w/ help/support. Help (like it says) can help. Best

This would be best: Addressed by the OB physician who is caring for you. Cardiac issues and GI issues that mimic cardiac issues can be developed newly during pregnancy, and the farther along you are, the greater those risks become. Call OB and at least have them check your blood pressure. How is baby? Moving and active is good. Sometimes women develop gallstones or even pancreatitis during pregnancy.Best be seen 2day

Difficult to assess: Chest pain combined with pregnancy is very tricky to treat online. I would suggest seeing your doctor as negative tests with persistent pain warrant more testing. Although rare some pregnant patients can develop blood clots in the lungs. Please see your doctor or go to the emergency room.
