What Causes Recurrent Severe Chest Pain Under Left Breast?
I have chest pain under my left breast... This is reoccurring over the last 2 weeks but not severe enough pain for me to go to the hospital or anything... Today my collar area hurts on my left side with a soreness... Not sure if the two are related... I kno my cholesterol is high because of a recent blood donation I made. Also I am obese 250 lbs 5'7"... I do not have insurance and cannot afford it... When I am sick I usually just go to the ER. I feel like if it were my heart that the pain would be so severe I would go to the hospital immediately, but I don't know if this is true.
Hello welcome to HCM. Your symptoms indicates of three possibilities. First it may be just simple chest muscle spasms. For this plain analgesics will relieve the symptoms. Second is You may be having acidity. More acid is produced in the stomach which is splashing up towards oesophagus which is present behind chest, hence you are feeling sensation. It will be burning type and this sensation also felt in the neck. For this you have to take proton pump inhibitors like omez-40mg once daily half an hour before break fast. Every day for ten days. All the problems will be relieved in early. Third cause is symptom related to heart. pain will be like some wight is there on the chest. sweating will be there. I am sorry for sugesting an investigation. but to confirm getting ECG is must. Then take advice from the physician. Take care. good health.
