[|Human|] I have been having an intermittent pain in my upper left chest about five inches above my nipple and approximately an inch or two to the left of it. Is this a sign of something? It has been off and on for about the last three days, occurring every 20-30 seconds
[|AI|]  Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Left sided chest pain must be evaluated for cardiac cause first. So better to get done ECG and 2d echo. If both are normal then no need to worry about heart disease. Musculoskeletal pain can also be the reason. So avoid heavyweight lifting, strenuous exercise and movements causing pain. Start painkiller and muscle relaxant Chat Doctor.  Apply warm water pad on affected site. Don't worry, you will be alright. First rule out cardiac pain in your case. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
