A member asked:
I had three small bouts of chest pain that felt like shocks on my left side?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Chest pains: Such fleeting sharp chest pains are usually not heart related or even due to lung disease unless there are other symptoms like cough,fever,or wheeze. Mild pinched intercostal nerve or muscle which run between 2 ribs are more likely causes and can be felt with a deep breath. These usually resolve on their own. See your physician as needed.
