A member asked:
Dull pain, only left side of chest, at nipple. ongoing 12 hrs. every 30 secs, deep dull pain rises, tightening, then subsides with a "gurgle" feeling?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Go to the ER: If you're coughing, you could have bronchitis or (with the gurgle) pneumonia. The gurgle could also be reflux. Chest pain can be from muscle strain or cartilage irritation. However, even a young man can develop a blood clot in the lung or (rarely) heart disease. Pain every 30 seconds for 12 hours should cause you to go to the ER for an evaluation, just to make sure it isn't dangerous.
