What Causes Severe Chest Pain While Taking Deep Breath?

Hi last night out of the blue I was getting pains in my chest I tried rubbing my chest to elliviate it but I couldn t pin point the pain as it was all over the left side. I struggled to breath and would involuntary take deep breaths. I was checking my pulse and every thine I got the pain which felt like my heart I noticed my pulse would go mental and be erratic. My partner couldn t get a good pulse from my wrist it was very weak ( he was trying left arm). Today I have felt so weak I also opened my bowls which was very lose. I m still not feeling great I can t explain but my chest just doesn t feel that great. now and then it feels like I have a lump in my heart which when it goes I go weak. I don t really want to go to hospital I try to help myself rather than bother anyone. We thought it might of been a panick attack but does it effect you the day after. Dawn YYYY@YYYY

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hi,

You are having chest pain in left side. So it warrants further investigation with EKG to rule out any underlying cardiac cause if present. If it comes normal than muscle strain pain or panic attack could be possible. Panic attack could be associated with sweating, anxiety and dyspnea.

You can Consult nearby physician for detailed examination.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Parth Goswami,
General & Family Physician
