Since yesterday afternoon I am having pain on the left side of my chest ( under the burst area) even if I touch it , it was horrible. But from last 8-9 months I am having pain at same point on my back. It's a sharp pain all day and night. Then slowly I got pain on left side going towards the back. So please help me is anything serious. Because I am not able to lie down on left side as well as on my back
Here your physical examination has to be done esp.for auscultation to look for heart sound and respiratory examination...
As having left side chest pain cardiac cause like chronic ischemic heart problem has to be rule out by.... 1.Blood pressure measurement 2.EKG 3.Echocardiography if needed
If suspicious respiratory problem present than chest x ray done for that..
After such investigation if no significant cause found than it could from musculoskeletal pain.. For which brufen given along with avoidance of strenous work.
Take care
Advise : consult physician for examination
