Suggest Treatment For Pain In The Left Side Of The Chest
Had chest pain on left side for a few weeks. Sometimes it takes my breath away, mostly when it comes on it s a pressure type pain/discomfort. It s tender around my ribs and also hurts in the middle of my chest area. Have had costocondroitus before, feels similar but more discomfort, and just on the left side. Had high blood pressure when it all started which came on quickly - 160/110 but I think it s back to normal now. Had TIA about 16 years ago. Have connective tissue disorder.
