Question: My wife is 37 weeks pregnant and yesterday afternoon she started felling pain like something heavy in lower part of the chest She was coughing but as of now the cough has reduce but she still feels the pain She normally use stand fan when sleeping so not sure if the fan is the cause 
 What advice can you give
Answer: Hello 

Good evening Sorry about your worries I really do not feel the standing fan is the cause of your wifes problem 

Normally as pregnancy advances the uterus gets bigger and extends outwards and upwards 
This may cause some form compression on the stomach and can actually cause some pain in the lower chest region which can usually be relieved with antacids 

But i suggest you see a doctor who will examine her and make appropriate recommendations since she is close to term 

This is to avoid or missing serious issues that might be going on 

I hope this helps 

I wish you the best 

Cheers
