I have had pain in my lower left chest for going on 6 weeks. I thought it was a muscle strain although I couldn’t pinpoint what I did to cause it. The pain is not getting better, but it is also not getting worse. Is it worth having it checked out? I can’t figure out why it won’t go away.

costochondritis is one of the most common causes as it cause inflammation of costochondral area and causes pain with laughing or breathing
