A member asked:

Pain in the upper left side under the breast bone?

Some possibilities..: Is it "chest pain" or just in the bone? A person with chest pain must see the doctor to find out why. She should consider going to the E.R. If she cannot reach her doctor. If it turns out to be a heart problem, a collapsed lung, a pneumonia, a blood clot in the lung, bad heartburn, costochondritis (inflammation of the rib joints), etc..., she will still be in the right place at the emergency room.
