What Causes Pain In The Left Side Of The Chest?

For about three days now my chest has had a mild pain on the left side. When I do certain movements, for example, bending over, i can feel a sort of sloshing or gurgling inside. Also I get a pain in my neck when my blood gets pumping from doing physical activity.

Hello Dear ,
The chest pain has many causes , the most common are :
1- Acute Myocardial Infarction .
2- Angina Pectoris .
3- Esophageal spasm .
4- Muscular causes . ( the commonest )
- Each of the above causes has its own characters , for typical chest pain ( cardiac ) it is about 15 minutes , substernal and squeezing , relieved by nitrates and increased by exercise , radiating to the back or to the left shoulder and may to the lower jaw .
- Muscular causes are neuropathies or myocitis ( the most common ) due to exposure to a cold weather , and will be relieved my simple analgesics .
- ( blood gets pumping from doing physical activity ) may be due to Anemia ( Anemic Heart )
You should do :
1- Visit your doctor .
2- Make an ECG .
3- CBC .
Thanks .
