Sharp Stabbing Pain Just Below Left Breast And Ribs With Numbness And Constipation

Im having sharp stabbing pain just below my left breast and ribs. The pain in quite intense. The area is also numb to the touch. I have issues with constipation which is what everyone seems to think is causing it, however even when Im regulated it still hurts. I take miralax and sometimes milk of magnesia and it works for me. So obviously constipation isn t causing this. What else might it be and what kind of doctor should I see about it?

Orthopaedic Surgeon 's  Response
Hello,

In my opinion, it would be wise to go see a cardiologist as chest pain on left side radiating to shoulder and increasing on exertion can be a heart symptom.

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

Regards,
