Confusion: Left sided chest pain is complicated. Everyone thinks about heart disease and woman are twice as likely to get a heart attack. But could be lots and lots of things. Gas, muscle strain, infection, trauma, cervical disc disease or a combination of these. Worrying about it will make it worse so get it checked out for your peace of mind.

SEE DOCTOR!!: Can be a number of things including cardiac vs gastrointestinal or even arthritis in the rib cage. Definitely speck with your pcp for more information. Obvious the most concerning is the cardiac that can get referred pain up the neck to the jaw or down the left arm.
