What Causes Chest Discomfort?
I feel uneasiness in left part of my chest.. around 6th rib (*not sure how to specify) .. I feel pain sometimes.. sometimes unusual pressure feeling in that area.. I feel like keeping that part of my chest pressed with my palm... And the feeling of uneasiness lasts even for hours sometimes... Is it a heart problem? .. I dont see any other symptoms similar to what I read on the internet...
