Small short pain behind left breast. sometimes it goes through to my back. come and goes all day. my doctor won't investigate says it can't be serious?

Try stretching: Try a stretching and flexibility program like yoga. If the pain moves around or changes in quality with moving your body, then it's likely musculoskeletal and that's reassuring to your doctor. If the pain persists or you remain concerned, consider a chest xray or ekg to get further information on your heart and your anatomy. Trying the yoga before your next visit should give your doctor good info
