i've been feeling a pinch sensation on my  chest in the left side, i'm wondering what i could be, it comes and goes and wake me up when hurts me. thx?

Accepted Answer

Pinch: Since you are 72 don't minimize any chest pain. See the doc asap and have it checked out. Make sure he also checks the rib edges since it is a sharp pain.

Question 2

my daughter is feeling a pinch sensation on her right side of her chest (1 hour now). it is an on and off thing, it isn't worse with a deep breathe.

Accepted Answer

This is probably: not something serious in a 15 year old, especially if she is otherwise healthy. Was she exercising before this happened? Is she ill with a fever, cough? any other symptoms? Any history of trauma or a fall? I would recommend if it continues that she see her doctor so that the proper diagnosis, if any, can be made and treatment, if any, can be recommended.

Question 3

during workout i started feeling a pinch in the left side of chest.not pain just a pinch when i do specific moves. should i worry for heart disease?

Accepted Answer

Not likely: If a certain movement consistently elicits the 'pinch', it is most likely muscular.  Besides smoking, do you have any other cardiac risks or history ?

Accepted Answer

Arguably : Arguably the worst possible cause of severe pain felt in the shoulder blade and deep into the chest would be an uncommon condition called aortic dissection.  Problems with the gallbladder and heart can also cause pain in the region of the shoulder or armpit (axilla).  The spinal nerve corresponding to t2 also feels an area that involves the armpits and hoop-shaped strip of skin that runs across your chest above your nipples, through your armpits, and across your back at about the same level (it also involves part of the skin on the arm).  After excluding things like dissection, heart problems, and gallbladder problems, a neurosurgeon may be helpful to get to a diagnosis and some relief.

Accepted Answer

You : You have had head trauma and now have neurological symptoms. You should get to a doctor as soon as possible. The shoulder symptoms may be related to an orthopedic issue. Both should be evaluated.

Question 6

squeezing feeling on the right side of my chest ?

Accepted Answer

Doctor can evaluate: A person with tightness, pressure, or pain in the right chest can see his doctor to be evaluated. Pains can come from neck and shoulder muscles, the ribs and their joints, the lungs or heart inside the chest, the nerves coming out of the spinal cord, etc... If one feels his pain might be from the heart, has a tight chest pain, or has past heart disease, he should go now by ambulance to the ER.

Question 7

feeling of something being stuck on the right side of my chest?

Accepted Answer

Not Clear: I am sorry but there is nothing on which to give you any kind of medical opinion. Can you give us more specifics or history?

Question 8

what does ticklish feeling inside the left side of my chest mean?

Accepted Answer

Need more informatio: Ticklish feeling is vague. Can you describe fully what the symptoms you having for better response.

Question 9

what could a pinching feeling in the middle of my chest more to the left side?

Accepted Answer

Get checked out.: While this could be chest wall pain related to muscle, it is possible this could be related to your heart as well.  Without knowing the full symptoms and your medical history it is hard for me to say for sure.  The best thing is to see your pcp and get examined.
