Left- side chest pain?

Question

ok I have a slight pain in my chest every other minute or so, its been happening for the last 2 days. it doesnt hurt when i breath, inhale, or cough or anything but can it still be serious?

Answer 1

First... things like this are serious enough to see a doctor as soon as it can be arranged.

Second.... what my care givers explained to me is if the pain has a definite location (as in you can actually place a finger on it then it is most likely up on the chest wall  and is not a heart issue. If the pain is diffuse and not definite in location (you cannot place your finger on it) then it may be heart related and you should go to a medical care facility immediately. Hope that helps and best wishes.

Answer 2

could be something called angina, see your doctor immediately

Answer 3

i had something like this before and it wound up that i had torn one of my rib muscles. my friend also had a hole in her heart when she was a baby, she got it fixed but every now and then her heart starts to hurt. i recommend you go to the doctors bc you could have pneumonia. when i had it, i would get back pains and then i became really severe pain and i had to go to the ER. so go soon before it starts becoming something more serious. also try taking motrin or ibuprofin if you havent already.

Answer 4

See your doctor right away, left side chest pain could be a heart attack coming.
