A member asked:
Im a 17 year old female and have been having pinch like pain on the left side of my chest by the heart for about 3 wks. now any ideas on what this is?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not your heart: your muscles in your chest wall, or other structures like ligaments or cartilage, a pulled muscle is the most common cause for such pain, it will take its time, can use OTC analgesics or analgesic gel to help control the pain till it resolves, good luck
