What causes chest pain on left side?
Patient: Hi I'm 24, female, about 150 pounds and have no history of any health problem. I am currently experiencing chest pain on the left side directly underneath the left breast. It gets worse when I take deep breaths and stand. When I am resting there is virtually no pain at all. Doctor: Hi and welcome in HCMI can understand your concern.According to the history better to exclude some problems doing some tests:EKGChest X rayAbdominal UltrasoundBreast UltrasoundAfter having the results and if they are positive than the relevant specialists (cardiologist,pulmonologist or GP) will advice you for the next step.Thank you and best regards.Dr.JolandaPulmonologist
