A member asked:

Dear dr, i have heaviness and pin poking pain feel on my left side chest. but it's not there always but it comes frequently. can you kindly advice me?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

My Approach: My approach to any chest discomfort is to have a complete history and physical, ekg and other tests as appropriate. Your symptoms likely do not represent a serious problem but that doesn't mean for the small likelihood that they do that you shouldn't check them out.
