What Causes Chest Pain With Pressure And Dullness?

hello i am a 21 year old female, 5'5 185lbs. About two hours ago I started getting chest pain under my left breast near the ribs and along my left shoulder.My breathing and pulse are fine and the pain is worse if im lying down. It comes in waves with the peak being a sharp pressure and otherwise its kind of dull. My dad had a heart attack 12 years ago at age 47 and heart disease runs through bot sides of my family. Whats wrong wit me?

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
In my opinion, you should definitely rule out heart diseases for your symptoms because of strongest family history of heart diseases.
So get done ecg, 2d echo and stress test (trade mill test).
If all these are normal then no need to worry for heart diseases.
Sometimes stress and anxiety can also cause similar symptoms.
So avoid stress and tension, be relax and calm.
Take simple painkiller like paracetamol or ibuprofen.
Don't worry, you will be alright with all these but first rule out heart diseases.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
