Is Severe Pain In The Left Side Of The Chest A Cause For Concern?

Hi went to walk in due too pain in my left side of my chest. Xray came back normal but she insisted I should go to the emergency room to be checked for a blood clot in my left lung and blood work. I have never heard of such a thing. What is your input and what would it be called if I did?

Hi,

You should have a check to your heart by doing E.C.G in any emergency room. There is no possibility to have a clot in your lung.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care.
