Is Heartburn Causing Tingling On Neck During Pregnancy?
I am 32 weeks pregnant and have pretty persistent heartburn. In the past few weeks, I've noticed a tingling in the back of my neck, slightly to the right of my spine. It isn't painful. It sometimes causes me to get the chills/goosebumps. Just wondering if it has to do with the heartburn or something else.

Hello,
Heart burn has nothing to do with the tingling you are feeling on your neck. In pregnancy, it is common for neuralgias or nerve pains to develop everywhere. They usually subside spontaneously while some are disturbing. It could be one of them. If it continues to persist, please ask your consultant for a further evaluation; you may need to see a neurologist for a better opinion and any necessary treatment. Please use vitamin supplements and eat a healthy diet. Maintain a proper posture to avoid acid reflux. Wish you safe motherhood.
