Hello,
With the question “What is the dull pain in the left chest? ", the doctor would like to answer as follows:
You suddenly have chest pain on both sides. However, you have not provided your doctor with information about your medical history (cardiovascular, pulmonary, pleural disease). Chest pain is a sensitive symptom because behind the chest is the heart, lungs, pleura, and even the esophagus (behind the sternum). To rule out the above diseases, it is necessary to simply do an electrocardiogram, take an X-ray of the chest (lungs, pleura), and examine the digestive tract to see if you have gastroesophageal reflux disease?
But with the nature of chest pain as you describe, you are young, the doctor's experience is much that is chest wall pain (muscles, blood vessels, ribs, intercostal nerves),...
If you feel pain chest disappears and appears from time to time, in the condition of distance because Covid 19 has not been tested, you can use normal nerve and muscle pain relievers. You can contact Vinmec hospital to register for an online examination (remote medical examination) for specific advice from a doctor.
If you still have questions about the dull pain in the left chest, you can go to the hospital of Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
