What Causes Left-sided Chest Pain While Breathing In Deep?
I am experiencing pain on my left side when I take a deep breath and cannot sleep on that side at all. I did have a mammogram a week ago so thought it was that but pressing left breast does not hurt?? I do not have shortness of breath, 140/87 blood pressure, overweight, 68 years old. I did have pain, kind of a knot in my lower neck 2 days ago.
