I'm 26 weeks pregnant and have been feeling tightness in my chest. i have asthma which has been well controlled with inhalers. what else can i do?

See doctor: There are many causes of that symptom, some which are simple, like heartburn, and some which are very serious and require immediate medical evaluation. If Tums (calcium carbonate) doesn't make it better, see someone for evaluation today.
