Constant pain on left side of chest. hurting all day. pain wont go away. hurts more when i breath deep and littil movement. should i go to hospital?

YES: Sharp chest pain, changing with the deep breath should be evaluated by the doctor. In some causes it could represent the pneumothorax, or air in the pleural space,or inflammation of pleura/chest muscles, the chest x-ray will help with the diagnosis.
