I'm feeling a bit concerned because I've been having this dull pain under my left armpit that seems to connect to my breast, along with some pain in the upper back on the same side. This all starts happening about 10 days before my period. I actually made a note of it because it's been pretty consistent. Around a year and a half ago, I also experienced stabbing pain in my left breast along with back pain. I had mammograms done at two different hospitals back then and they said everything looked fine. They suggested I take Vitamin E tablets, which I did for a while, but even after stopping them a year ago, I'm still having these issues. Could it be related to my cycle, or should I be worried about something else?

I'm really concerned because at my 11th week scan, my cervix length was 4.6 cm, but now in my 20th week, it's dropped to 3 cm. The radiologist said everything looks normal and there's no funneling, but I'm still worried. Should I be concerned about this change?

Question

I'm 33 and pregnant, about six months along. I've been keeping an eye on my pulse rate using an oximeter, and it's usually about 100 beats per minute. But today, it spiked to 130 beats per minute. Is this something I should be worried about?
