Pain in left side of chest.

2018-01-08 22:20:03
For the past 5 years, I've been having trouble laying down on my left side as it results in a stabbing pain in my chest, behind the left breast. Sometimes the stabbing pain doesn't happen but there is a dull ache. Sometimes throughout the day I get the stabbing pain and breathing makes it worse. Holding my breath for a few seconds makes it go away. Any idea what is wrong? Doctor did EKG and chest xray, everything seemed normal.

This is costochondritis. Very common in females. Some painkillers with local hot fomentation will help you. Get some calcium and vit. D3 tab.
