Mild shooting pain in left chest area
I have mild pain at front and back of my upper left chest. This is generally felt when i press the chest. Back shoulder has burning pain when I press it. This generally happens every 3-6 months. My weight, pulse, Blood pressure and cholesterol is under control. Still i have these pains and it is generally always on the left side only. Please suggest which type of tests i should go for to diagnose the problem. I had a problem of broderline high cholesterol and overweight in the past. This pain worries me a lot.
