What Causes Intermittent Stabbing Pain In The Chest?
I have a dull, intermittent, stabling pain in my chest on the inside of my left (and lessor so) pectoral muscle. I have had it for over a month. My pulse is low (60-65 on average per minute), I am 65 years old, and have been a regular swimmer for 35 years (about 2000 yards 4 times a week) and have no shortness of breath or vomiting at any time while working out. I also feel some intermittent pressure on my chest between my pectoral muscles, like a 8-10 weight is on my chest. Any suggestions? Thank you. roach@rimlawyers.c

Hello,
It looks that you are experiencing symptoms of Angina. However, it can also be due to acid reflux, dehydration or gastritis.
You are suggested to take antacid, PPI's & avoid constipation. Stay well hydrated.
Visit ER or a cardiologist. Get clinically examined & get CC, Urinalysis, Lipid profile, X-Ray, EKG, Echo, USG, Stress tests done to rule out ny developing Coronary artery disease(CAD).
Take homemade food, avoid oily food, red meat, dairy products. Take fruits, veggies, berries & maintain a healthy lifestyle. Avoid addictions if any.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Nupur K, General & Family Physician
