What Is The Cause For The Pain Around My Breast And A Fluttering Sensation In The Left Side Of My Chest?
I had a fluttering sensation in the left upper side of my chest two weeks ago and I thought it might be a muscle spasm. There is now pain around my left breast, above it and below it. Almost like a dull ache and sometimes sharp. I am scared that I have either a clogged artery or have had a heart attack.

Hi
Thanks for your query
The cause may be due to
1. GERD
2. Costochondritis
3. Ischemic heart disease
4. Anxiety
You should go for a chest x-ray PA view, ECG, stress test if required and a spirometry for proper evaluation of your condition and treatment accordingly.
Thank you
Regards
