Hi . I m a 43 year old male . 5 10 212 pounds . I ve been having a dull ache with a warm sensation in the left side of my chest and neck and back to shoulder area . I ve been having this feeling now for quite a few days . I don t have any known history of heart problems ; I have , however , been stressed about a few things , and I don t get a lot of sleep . It does hurt to breathe deeply . Do you have any idea what this could possibly be ?
