What Causes Chest Pain?
i recently went to my doctor, I had chest pain sorta in the center left side. I had taken a extra aerobic class and we believed it to be a pulled muscle. He did do a ekg, and it was okay, but I still have a dull soreness and sometimes my stomach throbs. It it normal with a pulled chest muscle, its been a few weeks?
