Chest pain

Hello,

 

I have been getting chest pain for some time now. It comes and goes and is often really bad at night. I can't do exercise because my chest gets tight and I cannot breathe. All of my chest goes rock solid when I get a flare up and tonight I have felt a ball like substance in my left hand side of my rib cage. I have had chest X-rays that always come back normal but no explanation of what it could be 

  • Hello,

    Thank you for your post.

    I am sorry to hear that you are concerned about some symptoms. Unfortunately, this forum is not meant for people with symptoms, as we are not able to suggest a diagnosis. Maybe speak with another GP at your GP Practice, and explain you are still worried. Cancer is not very likely overall, it is far more likely to have a straight forward medical explanation. But hopefully your GP can assess you again, and advise you further.

    Wishing you the best,
