A member asked:
Can it be cardiac related if chest pain is quite localised but moves around? for example, on the left side, than on the right, than below the ribs?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No,thats not cardiac: Cardiac typically is substernal,stays there,occ mmigrates to L arm or neck,feels crushing in nature,accomp by sweating,shortness of breath. Yours sounds musculoskeletal in nature..
