What Causes Left Sided Chest Pain?

I am having pain in the left side of my chest. Its more of a throbbing pain. I had a car accident back in 2001 and was hit with an air bag on the left side. I have always some kind of twinge in my chest. But recently it has seemed to be more frequent.

Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Chest pain after blunt injury to your chest needs evaluation with a chest x ray.If any old rib fracture if found, then it may be the cause for your pain. Pain killers and physiotherapy will help you. If your chest x ray is normal, then kindly get ECG done just rule out cardiac cause.
So better to consult doctor for the same and get clinical examination also done.
Hope I have solved your query.
Wish you good health. Thanks.
