Why Is There Throbbing Pain In Left Side Of Chest?

Imagine a picture of a heart. Well over a few months now I have noticed that I have a small throbbing pain as if someone was taking a small piece of my heart and compressing just that specific area. However sometimes this pain seems to move around in the general left breast area including just above my ribcage?
Any possible answers to what is going on in my body as well as possible solutions is appreciated.
I am not overweight. I am 31 years old and I off and on swim so I am in relatively good shape.

Hi There

I've read your query and understanding your concern.

I would like to tell you, if you are experiencing any breathlessness or chest tightness with this throbbing pain then it can be related heart disease. But heart disease in young age is unlikely until unless you have very strong family history of heart disease.

It can be muscle strain or bony pain. You can use tablet Ibruphan SOS . If doesn't get relief then you can personally consult with a orthopeditian so that he can guide you in a proper way. If you have any family history of cardiac disease then get your ECG and echocardiography done and consult with a cardiologist .

Hopefully I answered all your queries.
Wish you Good Luck
