Chest pains in pregnancy

Hi sisterhood, I have been experiencing terrible chest pains sharp piercing pains in my chest I have taken heart burn stuff but it's not working and when I move around it's worse and puts me in tears and hurts when I touch my chest? I am 22 weeks pregnant. Everyone keeps telling me it's heart burn but when I touch my chest it really hurts. Should I make a trip to the hospital I am calling my midwife today.
