Pain In Chest And Armpit. Should I Be Concerned?
I am experiencing sharp internal pains on the left side of my upper chest medial to the armpit but lateral to the nipple . I am a male, 20 years old, 5 7 240lbs. They started about 3 hours ago and have recently been occurring every 10 minutes for the past hour. Is this something that I should be concerned about or is it probably stress or not an emergency??

Hello,
Thanks for writing to us
It could be due to stress.The typical features of chest pain of cardiac origin -
*Pain is diffuse in nature and is felt over the entire chest wall
* It may radiate to jaw, shoulder, neck and arm
* It is tight , sqeezing or choking in nature
* It is made worse by exertion or emotion
* relieved by rest
If it persists,it is better to get it evaluated,
I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
