Suggest Treatment For Pain In Left Chest
I have a pain in my left chest. It feels like a pulled muscle, but I have a shorteness of breath when I take a deep breath, and it hurts worse when I bend or move. I assume a pulled muscle, but I dont remember doing anything that would have caused a pulled muscle

Take simple paracetamol analgesic if needed.
