Random Left Side Chest Pain
I began having this pain a few times last week, but have had it several times today and right now. It goes away and feels like it is throbbing a little? It's hard to tell sine the pain is achey and dull. It's probably 3 or 4 ribs down from the collar bone, and right of the sternum. Is this something I need to be concerned about? I'm not feeling anything else. Everything seems normal.

Hi,
Thanks for query,
It seems to be due to myalgia or costo chondritis.
Take analgesic tab.
Apply local analgesic cream.
Go for ECG to rule out coronary pain.
Ok and bye.
