How Can Sharp Chest Pain Be Treated?
I was driving home from work yesterday when I had a sudden sharp pain in the left side of my chest that lasted about 5 minutes then stopped. Around 4am this morning it happened again and has been coming and going all day. Now its a dull ache in my chest. What should I do?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
The presentation of narrated symptoms suggest that there is definite internal cause of the pain in chest on left side, which was initially severe in nature and now dull ache. I recommend to visit an urgent care unit and get an EKG done for further management.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel
