Hello doctor, recently my left chest area is painful when working hard. Every time I shovel, my left chest hurts, I have to stop working and stand in place to rest for 5 to 10 minutes. My blood circulation is good, I don't get dizzy often. I am very worried about my health condition, every time my chest hurts, I feel that I may only have a few days to live. Please let me know my health status and where I need to visit?
I would like to thank you.

Hello doctor, I'm female. Right now, I have a sharp pain in my left chest every time I take a deep breath and stretch. Normally, I still have it from time to time, but it goes away immediately, and now I have pain all morning and it still hasn't gone away. I don't know what's wrong with me? Looking forward to consulting your doctor. Thank you.
