Suggest Treatment For Pain In The Upper Back And Rib Cage

My name is Cassidee and I m 25 weeks and 5 days pregnant. I have been experiencing severe upper back pain that shoots back and forth from the left side of my rib cage. My sternum is also experiencing sharp pain and it is beginning to hurt every time I breathe. I woke up to extreme heart palpitations and felt like I couldn t catch my breath. And I have also experienced extreme itchiness of my hands, legs, arms, and feet. I can t get it to stop itching. I don t have an appointment for 3 more weeks and I am wondering if I should call and see if they have an appointment available or just go to the nearest ER.
