Dull chest ache - Left hand side. Please help!
by mojo79, May 14, 2008 04:43PM
I wonder if anyone can help. For about 4-5 days I have had a dull ache on the right hand side of my chest, it is definately internal, feels like its just under the chest bone. It is worse when i exhale deeply and also when i swallow (especially dry foods) It got so bad today I left work and went to the doctors.
I had an ECG and that was ok (thankfully) by blood pressure is slightly raised at 144/90. But that could be because I was stressed out over the pain. The ache is constant but a hot water bottle took the edge off it this evening.
I have no pain when I move nor when I press the chest area. I did have a couple of nights drinking last week but this did not start until a few days after. I also trained my chest in the gym last week but didnt feel anything crack or pop.
I have thought about reflux but it doesnt feel like that.
I have been told to see how i feel over the next couple of days and go back. I am left very worried, im 28 and concerned I may have heart disease or something!!
Has anyone else had this?

I forgot to add I am a non smoker. I am on my feet daily at work. I am 5'6 and 13.5 stone, but this is mainly muscle not fat.
