A member asked:

Left side of diaphragm & stomach hurts when breathing (sometimes w/ palpitations). it is like a pulling sensation. what could this be?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Probably muscular: Heart disease is rare in women your age, while palpitations are3 common and usually benign. It always makes sense to get ches pain checked, however.
