Hi, I am a 30 year old, healthy male in good physical condition. For the past two months I have had consistent pain and discomfort in my left side chest area and left upper abdominal region. It is felt most closely between a few of my ribs. The pain is not terrible, but constant. It will often radiate to my armpit. I don't have any other symptoms (no coughing or cold or fatigue, no difficulty breathing), except for the anxiety this is causing me.
I initially went to the ER as I thought it was heart related. They ran tests like the ekg, chest x-ray, and blood work, and everything was normal. I went to my doctor a few weeks later, he did more blood work (came back normal), and ran a physical exam, with everything feeling normal. He had me get a CT scan of the chest, with results coming back normal (pulmonary, mediastinum, vascular, etc.). Next step is an ultrasound. But as of now, I am at a loss of words. The pain is not extreme, my energy levels are normal and it is not hindering my day-to-day activity...but it is causing a lot of anxiety and fear that I might have cancer or something.
Does anyone have any thoughts on what might be occurring? Could it be spleen related?
Thank you
