Suffering From Mild Chest Pain On The Left Top Of Breast
I have a mild chest pain on the left side on top of my breast. Its presistant for the last 5 days. it comes and goes. its 2 maybe 3 out of ten. i have been in ER 4 days ago. They have runned some blood work, x rays and ekg. Everything came back negative. They are reffering my to see cardiologist. So why do i have this pain? I am on my period rightnow and i am under a lot of stress as well as my six year old has pnemounia. I do suffer from panic attacks so i am use to chest pains but this chest pain is just lingering on for too long. When my panic attack sets in my imagination will go wild and i start making or developing more symptoms. Not sure what to think of this.

madam,
as a general statement any left sided chest pain is regarded as cardiac in origin until proved otherwise.
but looking ur history this pain is more or less likely to be a panic attack induced one since it is of very low intensity and u have been experiencing similar such pains earlier.
but I suggest u can get a TMT done just for ur mental satisfaction since u f a apprehensive person.
Don't hesitate to communicate for further clarifications
take care
