A member asked:

I have a dull pain upper left chest.hurts when inhaling and when i press the area.no heart attack "signs", should i be worried?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not much: We called this a "reproducible" pain, because you can feel it when you press your rib cage. Most likely not your heart and instead, the muscles or cartilages of the chest. However, I would still suggest a more comprehensive history via a personal or virtual visit to the doctor. I hope this helps, KC. Feel better!
