Chest pains warrant doctors appt. ?

Question

I occasionally suffer chest pains in the left side of my chest, they are extremely painful and stop me from doing anything, including breathing, i can breathe it just hurts too much.

they only come every now and then, like three or four times a month but the pain is sharp and stabbing.

does this warrant a doctors appointment do you think?

any help much appreciated

Answer 1

YES.

Answer 2

Very much so, this sounds like angina, and needs to be evaluated by your physician, if there's possible surgical or medical interventions to control the symptoms and preserve your heart function.

Answer 3

definitely make an appointment to see your doctor.

Answer 4

Yep, might wana go to the ER if it happens again and you have other symptoms

Answer 5

Absolutely. Anytime you feel chest pain, there is cause for concern. Book your appt. first thing tomorrow.  

Answer 6

yes any left sided chest pain warrants a docs appt b.c ur heart is there. you could be under a lot of stress and could have panic attacks. those arent fun. u could have something more serious like an arrhythema or something internal. either way get it checked out.

Answer 7

Yes unless you f**t after words then it is just gas. HOWEVER see a Dr

I am not one,  

Answer 8

Hahaha, i laugh at the people that answered above me. No it has nothing to do with your lung. I am 15 years old, under lots of stress from school, and have exact same pains as you do. I have had these pains for now 7-8 years. I dont get them as often as 3-4 times a day, but i get them once every day at least. Mine last 30 sec - 2 min usually and i have to stop in place until the pain goes away. Usually it starts when at rest. This could be either one of 2 things, you have chostocondritis, or "catch" syndrome. My doctor doesnt know which one it is, however, they are both relatively the same. It isnt something to worry about, however, still get it checked by a doctor.
