Sharp Chest Pains

Sharp Chest Pains

I am experiencing sharp chest pains over my left breast.  It hurts to breathe in too hard and to lay down at night.  I am 48 years old.  What can I do?

It sounds like it might be pleurisy.  That is where the lining of the lung becomes inflamed and fills with fluid. I have had that a few times and it is very painful. It also hurt when I would bend over. You may want to see your doctor because this could be a number of things.  It doesn't sound like your heart.  Heart related chest pain doesn't get any worse or better with deep breathing.
