Have Sharp Pain And Stabbing Sensation In The Chest
I took pre workout. After my chest on the left side started having a sharp pain like a stabbing sensation. It's more towards the middle on the left side. My pulse is 85-90 bpm and when I change positions it doesn't affect the pain. What could it be and it only hurts when I breath deep

Hello
Thanks for your query
From your description it seems to me that the pain is of pleuritic nature for which you need to undergo at least a chest x-ray for proper evaluation. Pain may also be due to GERD for which you should start to take pantoprazole 40 mg tablet twice daily before food daily for 6 weeks at least along with life style modification. Consult a pulmonologist and get yourself properly examined.
Thank you
