What Causes Frequent Sharp Pain In Left Side Of Chest?
I occasionally get a sharp pain in my chest on the left side, which is greatly increased when i breathe in. it only happens once in a while but has been increasing in frequence. if i take a deep breath it hurts like hell but it almost 'pops' and then the pain is completely gone. help?
From your description it seems you have muscle pain. I would advise you to take Ibuprofen, if your pain is frequent. You can take it twice daily for three days and it will disappear.
Hope I could help you
Wishing you good health
