What Causes Chest Pain In Lower Left Lung On And Off?
I have had chest pain in my lower left lung on and off for the past 6 months or so. Before this I had pneumonia which was misdiagnosed for 6 weeks and ended up on three courses of antibiotics. I was just wondering what the chest pain is. I have lost my faith in my doctors due to being misdiagnosed for so long and would just like a reasonable answer.

Hi,
I understand your concern and would explain that your symptoms could be related to different possible causes: the stomach, the pancreas or the colon. For this reason, I would recommend performing an abdominal ultrasound, a fibrogastroscopy.
Some other blood lab tests may be needed (complete blood count, PCR, ESR, kidney and liver function tests, amylase and lipase levels).
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka,
Cardiologist
