Common Questions and Answers about Chest pain left side sternum

chest

Avatar f tn I have been having chest pain, sometimes dull, sometimes sharp in my right side (to the left of my right breast). Sometimes I feel it in my shoulder and back. I have had an EKG in the past and nothing....I also am the bill of health except for some high cholesterol like a year ago. I have changed my diet and excercised since. I am 5'-4" and 142 pounds. I look about 130 though so a lot of my weight is muscle.
Avatar n tn Best I can describe it, someone or something heavy is sitting on my chest. I can feel it in my back throughout my ribs (on one side or the other) as well. I can feel munchkin kicking no more or less than usual. I'm simply wondering if anyone has experienced a feeling similar to this...?
Avatar m tn It usually lasts a few minutes and then goes away. I dont have any other symptoms other than sharp chest pain, pain in my jaw, and left arm. What could this be? Is it possible to have a heart attack at 25?
Avatar n tn i was wondering if this makes any sense. someone has chronic upper middle chest pain that is not worse with exercise. the echo, xray and EKG are normal. the basic labs are normal. where else can this pain come from ? Could it be from GERD or esophogitis, even if it doesn't hurt to swallow food? could it perhaps be an enlarged lymph node in the chest? (lymphoma maybe?
Avatar m tn When ever I hold my breath and let all the wind out of my lungs and squeeze my chest it will give me pain on and around my sternum. If I turn my head sharply I will feel pain on the right side. But what hurts me the most is when I push down on my sternum or pull an object into my sternum. Nothing shows up in xrays and the doctors just keep sending me away without telling me anything. Does anyone know what this could be? It also does hurt in my back on the right side when everything hurts.
Avatar m tn its been little over a year i been having pain in my chest (left side) right above the nipples. some times i also feel burning kind of pain in my back (Right behind where it hurts from front). Funny thing is i cannot simulate pain when i rub or press the Spot, but internally i feel kind of soreness or maybe discomfort. i went to many different doctor and did blood tests, ECG, Sonogram of heart , but everything came out normal.
Avatar n tn I was diagnosed with a hiatal hernia and when it causes me problems I have pain there, in my chest, left shoulder, left arm and back. If I didn't have cardiac workups I would think I was having a heart attack. Digestive disorders can be very painful, I also had my gallbladder out, but unfortunately it doesn't cure everything. I thought at first I was going to be great but within a few months the pain has returned. Good luck to you.

Avatar m tn s been a week now (I know, I should have gone to the Doctor before now), and I still have pain in my chest and back, as well as a dull pain over my heart on the left side of my chest. However, I have been going about my life normally, and aside from some difficulty sleeping, I am functioning as normal. I can still lift heavier items, and although I haven't been lifting, I feel more or less normal.
Avatar n tn last night i felt alot of pain in my left side of my chest and the pain increases with mov't and breathing so i thought this is anew problem coz the side is above the heart or may be the heart its self so that i need ur advice.....
Avatar n tn s was ductal invasive, node neg, the site of surgery for br sparing surgery was on the outer rim of rh breast right next to the sternum. However tattoo marks extend over the sternum to the opposite left healthy breast. During the course of radiation Annie told Oncology that 'you are making the heartburn worse, you are burning too deep!'. Also she had CMF and radiation and experienced post ca treatment refractory heartburn plus abdominal discomfort (pain) 24/7.
Avatar n tn i am suffering from pain in my left side lower abdomine with pain radiating to my back and sternum. my doctor is sure because of my symptoms its my gall bladder. why? im hurting on the wrong side? any ideas what the problem could be? so far all gallbladder tests have been negative. im about tapped out and cannot afford test after test on the wrong side. the pain is an achy burning feeling and sometimes i feel swollen and it hurts to lay on my side? any comments would be greatly appreciated.
Avatar n tn It might also be costo chondritis, although usually the pain is located near the sternum. However, I had severe pain on the left side. It's an inflammation of the cartilage in the chest wall. It's not generally very serious but I have had it before and it can be quite painful.
Avatar n tn after this, i started having pain along each side of my sternum, the pain is more intense on the left side. Also, if i push on my sternum, there is a great deal of pain. i have had this pain for about a week now. it is very painful and sore. it is very difficult for me to find a good position to rest in when i try to go to bed. can anyone tell me what is wrong with me.
237053 tn?1258828426 For the last few days I've developed intermittant chest pain (left side) right where my heart it. It isn't severe, just kinda achy. It comes and goes, but I'm kinda concerned about it. I'm having it right now accompanied with air hunger. Very uncomfortable. Does anyone else get this? What causes it? I'm going in this morning to see dr and will be interested to see what she says. How can they deny that I am clearly having problems?
Avatar m tn hey ok so when i was 8 a dog jumped on my chest and now the left side is bigger then the right like it poped up. Now im 14 and im having these breathing problems and when ever i bend my head down it hurts like an ache. Do you think i need that surgery thing to restructure my chest because its poping out alot. ?? I'm going to get a x-ray soon but still wanted to make sure.
Avatar m tn At random points through out the day the sharp pain comes on and off on my left side of chest right near my rib cage and also on and off the same pain in between my belly button and sternum. I do suffer from chronic heartburn and indigestion. Any idea what this could be?
Avatar n tn s either above or in my lung, i also sometimes have a dull ache on my left side slightly under the sternum and to the left on the ribcage, i was diagnosed with musculoskeletal chest pain a few months ago, is this what is causing the symptoms?
Avatar f tn Does anyone have periodic chest pain with their fibromyalgia? I get it on the left side, higher than the heart, almost like a rib pain or something. I wondered if anyone else has this?
Avatar f tn Incisional pain subsides gradually over the first month post-surgery. Many patients report a sensation of numbness on the left side of their chest which results from the dissection of the internal mammary artery. Some patients can barely wear a shirt for a few weeks following their surgery due to a hyperesthesia over their sternal skin. Fortunately, all these malaises subside within 1 or 2 months post surgery.

7580199 tn?1392249250 Hi Everybody... Just wondering, how long does everyone else's chest pain last? Seems like my left pectoral muscle and sternum in the center of the chest stay "tender" or a little bit sore for a day or two after a panic attack... anyone else experience this?
Avatar f tn Yesterday I woke with a noticeable chest pain left side to my sternum area. I can point to this pain with only one finger. The pain is triggered by changing body position and mainly when i move my neck to the right side. Sometimes possibly when i move my left arm also. I don't suffer any other symptoms except mild dizziness on and off. Should i be worried of Myocarditis?
Avatar m tn It is a real pain to deal with whatever it may be..the pain can shoot anywhere from the left side od the breast near the sternum to almost under my armpit. Thanks for the input it's appreciated!
Avatar m tn Ok first off I want to thank everyone for reading, I'm going to try and make this as short and detailed as possible. About 3 months ago I was doing a workout (where you hit a tractor tire with a sledge hammer) I didn't warm up before doing so and I did something to my chest.
Avatar f tn i have had mid left side back pain for several months now, orginally thought i had a kidney infection, all test were negative, had an mri, showed i have L5 disc probem and T3 and T4 problems, have a very physical job had fallen at work, kept working so we all thought is was muscular went to a recovery chiropractic office, went through seven weeks of therapy, had one shot in back, no help, ultrasounds of pelvis, and abdomen and renal, all negative.
Avatar n tn Any thoughts on how all of these pains can be connected? Most chest pain occurs on the left. I get pains in my shoulder, inner arm and left side of left breast as well.
Avatar f tn The spots that are affected are directly underneath my sternum in the center of the chest. To the left of my sternum and below my left breast towards the bottom of the ribs. I have gotten a bunch of cardiac tests including an echocardiogram, stress test, EKG, blood test, MRI and cat scan. All came back good. This has been going on for three months now and seems to be getting worse. The only medication I take is 30mg of oxycodone for a herniated disk.
