What Causes Chest Pain On The Left Side?
I am having consistent (3-4 times per day) chest aches on the left side, not acute, but more of an ache. I do not really get short of breath when climbing stairs, or normal exertion, but when sitting in the car driving, I sometime feel like I need to take a deep breathe like I am not getting enough air. All symptoms are mild, but they don t feel normal.

Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Any pain in center of chest or on left side may just muscle pain or some respiratory infection or bony weakness....needs to be evaluted to exvlude any heart problem.
Early detection would give better &fast relief... as well as life style changes started in time with needful medication would be rewarding.
Thanks.
