Left sided chest pain. stays localized the worrysome part is the increasing difficulty in breathing or catching breath over past 2 months. what is it
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Many possibilities..: It is very difficult to tell just w/ this piece of information. Since it is possible that your heart could be the problem you are young and this could include a wide range of possibilities: lung problems(like asthma or COPD), muscular, gastritis or acid reflux, to mention a few. It is important that you see someone for exam and possible tests. If pain gets severe and lasts > few mins go to ED.
