Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
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?
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.
Regards
Dr.Jolanda
