What Causes Dull Pain In Left Side Of Chest?
I have a dull pain on the left side of my chest. It almost feels like it needs to be stretched. I am currently on asthma medication, and had a full cardiology workup (EKG and stress test) done about a year ago. Everything came back as normal. The pain does not get worse with exercise. What could it be?

Hi,
Welcome to HCM,
If your EKG and stress test is normal and if you still have dull ache than it can be either muscular or pleural pain. would be worth while to check chest X Ray and if that's normal then mostly it would be muscular.
