What Causes Pain And Pressure On The Left Side Of The Chest?

I m having pain/pressure on the left side of my chest, I thought it may have been a pulled or strained muscle because it is sort of underneath my left breast. This has slowly been getting worse instead of better. I m wondering if I should go to urgent care right away or wait a little longer and see my regular dr?

Hello

As you explain the situation I would recommend you to go to ER because the heart and lung problems should be excluded .The other causes are not an emergency.
