left side sharp chest pain sometimes shoots to the right
by dw5, Aug 04, 2009 06:10PM
I have had left side chest pains for the past 4 1/2 months. These are sharp pains a hand width below my collar bone. Occassionally I have had the same pain shoot over to the right side. While the pain in my left side moves around that general area and lasts 30 second or less at a time. The pain on the right is straight across. I have had 2 ekg's, blood work and chest xrays. So far my doctor has not found anything and says he doesnt think its my heart. I am a 36 y/o female. I dont have high blood pressure, I am overweight, but have lost 50lbs in the last year. I feel that maybe we should be doing more tests, but the doctor thinks it will be fine, with no explanation. I have no family history of heart disease or problems. The pain occurs "whenever", not with physical activity. In the past year I have also been diagnosed with IBS. I cannot get a second opinion without a referral from my doctor. What can I do to get more answers, and should I be worried?
