What causes pain on the left side of your chest?

Dr Yassir Javid

There are many causes of chest pain. It is important to take chest pain seriously because it can sometimes indicate a serious underlying problem. Any new, severe, or persisting chest pain should be discussed with your doctor. It can often be difficult to diagnose the exact cause of chest pain without carrying out some tests and investigations.
