A member asked:
I have pain in my chest left side when i take breath my family have history in heart diseases should i have cholesterol analysis as first step?

No: Get a proper evaluation by a physician. Many young people get a twinge occasionally when they breathe in, like a sharp knife, for a minute or two. It's a fold in your pleura and you can end it by filling your lungs with air to the maximum. Get a baseline cholesterol because every young adult should.
