What Causes Pain In Chest Radiating From Center Towards The Left Side?
I am a 60 year old woman in good health. I have a pain in my chest above my breast from the center going to the left side. Not exactly painful but am aware of it. This has happened before, Went to cardiac doctor who did an ekg which was fine. Just wondering if I should ignore this or seek medical attention. No other symptoms

Hi welcome to the health care magic
You have seen to cardiologist for this condition
As pain felt to be radiating in arm also here cardiac cause should be ruled out first
So EKG was proper investigation
As it was normal here no need for further worry
If can be muscle strain and just rest enough
Avoid strenuous work
Ibuprofen tablet can be taken for five days
Hot compress useful
If still no improvement than echo, chest x ray like further work up needed
Take care
