A member asked:

What would cause pain that comes and goes under my left breastbone and make me not breath good?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Difficult to say: This is difficult to say with limited info given. Pain in the chest and breathing problems can be significant symptoms. I would strongly recommend evaluation by your family doc soon.
