What Causes Sharp Pain On Left Under Side Of Chest?

I woke up yesterday with sharp pain on the left side of my chest below my breast, which worsened when inhaling. Today, when I try to carefully inhale deeply it seems I can t inhale as much as usual and seems as if I can only get air into right lung.

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
You may have angina pain, gastritis, lung pathology or muscular pain.
You should go for electrocardiogram and t ray chest. If both these investigation are normal then no need to worry. Just take proton pump inhibitors and analgesic. If
x ray or ecg shows any abnormality then consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
