Answers:
Do you have friends or neighbors that can come over and give her some advice.? Another family member.?
Sleeping is good, though, so that's not to be worried about. If she has some congestion in her chest, then it could be the start of pneumonia. Not a good thing if she doesn't go to the doctor, but if she's pretty healthy, even then she would recover. As for heart attack, its probably more along the lines of angina, which is definitely not as serious.
Ultimately, its her choice if she wants to go to the hospital. But your responsibility is to take care of you and your baby, so be careful that you don't continue with this stress. Whatever it takes for YOU to feel better, do that.Health Question & Answer

She really needs to see a doctor as soon as possible. Just because she is only 45 doesn't mean it can't be her heart. I'm 36 and was suffering bouts of the same symptoms. Turned out to be Angina due to the narrowing of arteries supplying blood to my heart, I put it off for months and very nearly risked having a heart attack. Any pain in the chest associated with shortness of breath and tiredness should be looked at as a matter of urgency by a qualified person.Health Question & Answer
It could be a heart attack. It also could be from anxiety. I have anxiety attacks a lot and they are similar to that. With a 17 yr old daughter pregnant I could see having anxiety attacks. With the added sleep it sounds like anxiety and depression to me.

I'm 51 and just went through an angio gram, after having heart and chest pains. (also a stress test). They found that I have a condition where my heart beats too fast called Tachecardia. This runs in my family as well as heart attacks. They put me on medication to slow it down. I am not having the chest pains now.
She needs to be checked out, better safe than sorry.She probably feels self conscience but tell her to do it for you.
