Chest Very Sensitive And Hurting Badly. Feel Little Indent On Touching

We ll my chest started hurting on the left side. A very bad pain. So I started holding the area the hurt. But then I barely touched a spot on my ribs and it feels like a little indent. And it is very sensitive. And hurts extremely bad. And I can t even lay in that side.

There can be many causes of this kind of chest pain. Since you have not mentioned about any cough, fever or breathlessness, I presume you do not have any of these. Have you hurt your self or done some vigorous physical exercise. It could even be costochondritis. You should take some pain killers and local analgesic gel and take rest. If it doesn't subside soon, you should consult your PCP.
