A member asked:

I've been having sharp pains under my left breast. they are made worse by laying on my left side and taking a deep breath while doing so.?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Chest wall: Irritation of the ribs, muscles, nerves or joints of the chest wall can cause pain like you describe. A more serious possibility would be a blood clot in the lung. A doctor can check for the different possibilities and order appropriate tests if needed.
