What causes upper chest pain?
Patient: I have upper left chest pain since last Monday which I thought was due to muscular  strain but has got worse.No fever pulse and bolo pressure normal  as recorded  by dentist during normal check up last Tuesday Took aspirin to dull pain Tuesday night and tonight.Plan to see my local doctor this morning. Am a male aged 85 in good health Doctor: Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.I can understand your concern. In my opinion, you should definitely rule out heart diseases for your left sided chest pain. So consult cardiologist and get done blood pressure monitoring, ecg, 2d echo and stress test (trade mill test).You are may need angiography if any of the above test is showing positive results for ischemia. Better not to wait and meet cardiologist as soon as possible. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
