A member asked:
Is a mild intermittent pain about an inch to the right of right nipple considered chest pain, and something to be concerned about?

See below: This problem mandates a real-time (face-to-face) meeting with a doctor. A history has to be taken along with a examination as well as labs and other tests. Only after all this will his doctor be in a position to tell him what's wrong and what needs to be done to help him.

Maybe: Any chest pain in an adult needs to be taken seriously. Serious heart disease as well as breast or lung problems must be excluded. Diagnostic tests including an electrocardiograph or chest x-ray may be needed. The presence of coronary risk factors including high blood pressure , high cholesterol, cigarette smoking , diabetes , obesity and advanced age increases the chances of a serious problem.
