Hello,

It is good that you are concerned. It could be many things from a minor muscle problem to heart disease. The only way to know for sure is to see a doctor in person. You will need an exam and probably some testing to sort this out.


Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Kathy Robinson
