What Is The Pain On The Left Side Of My Chest?
chest pain
my chest started hurting a few days ago. I'm 28 male. active and work hard. its in the left side of my chest,, just left of my sternum. really bad pain when I lean on my left side. when I try to take a deep breath it hurts more and when I exhale too. even little chest movement like clearing my throat. I do smoke but in the process of quitting. I don't drink or use drugs any more. I have ruled out heart problems cause I just went for a light jog and no increase of pain. but still hurts when deep breathing. I have been sleeping in a hommock for two weeks now. I'm hopping its. just muscle cramps or pinched nerves.

thanks for your question
I completely understand your problem
don't panic usually cardiac problems does not accur at that young age.the type of pai you r describing seems to be due to lung ailment.
most commonly this typre of pain occurs in pleural effusion , which can be easily diagnosed by a chest xray, u can refer a pulmonologist for that. second most common reason can be peptic ulcer at that site , so you have to take some proton pump inhibitors like pantaprazole. or else u can show a general physician.
thanks/regards
