What Is The Cause Of Pricking Pain In Chest?
Hi there I keep getting a sharp pricking pain in the left side part of my chest like just on top of my breast. I'm female 28 years old, together with the pain I have a slight headache and I feel like warm sensation in my chest area. The pain feels like it goes all the way to the back. Any ideas?

In my opinion you should first undergo chest x ray to rule out any lung or rib cage cause for chest pain. Since you are having left sided chest pain ECG needed for cardiac cause. And if all is normal than no need to worry it will only be muscular pain.
