A member asked:
Hello i have had chest aching in the left rib cage, that only lasts for a quick second and i am worrying over whether it is cardiac or not. help?

See a doctor: Classic angina (cardiac chest pain). Occurs with exercise and improves with rest. It lasts under 5 minutes. It can radiate to the inside of the upper arm and left jaw. It is a squeezing/pressure sensation. It can cause you to get clammy or feel short of breath. If you are worried see a doctor and get it checked out
