Sharp pain in left chest while breathing
I am feeling sharp pain in chest on left side and it is increasing with time. This started with a light sensation of pain after lunch today that i ignored as gastric pain. But its happening for first time that i am still feeling it at mid night with severity. I can only take shallow breaths for now with less pain.
