Upper left side chest pain& body aches: When should I worry?

Posted by hunter289 @hunter289, Jan 23 10:27pm

I’m currently having an upper left chest pain, and I’m scared that it might be heart related. I have no known heart issue history nor anything severe. I just have asthma. I’m also having body aches everywhere

Is it “pain” or “muscle discomfort”?

I had breast cancer as a man and I get chest discomfort due to scar tissue, but its muscle related per my oncology team and sought a PT.
Suggest reaching out to your PCP for a checkup. Do not delay.

You’re scared of what you don’t know. Better to know more than less. See a cardiologist. She’ll give you the news - good or bad. But at least you’d know what course to follow.

@hunter289, Some time has passed since you first posted about upper chest pain and body aches. How are you currently feeling? Did the chest pain improve, or did you take the advice of @hopeseeker and @malebreastcancer47 and go get it checked out to learn more about what might be causing your discomfort?
