A member asked:

I am having acute pains in left side in between the breast and the heart and it gives side back aches

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Chest wall pain: If the "acute pains" are occurring with deep breathing, they may be what is called "pleuritic" origin: deep breathing after periods of shallow breathing ( by sitting with minimal muscle movement). If not related to breathing patterns, see your healthcare provider for more detailed explanation.
