Could Chest Pain Near Nipple and Ribs Be Serious?
Patient's Query
Got a sharpe pain that comes and goes in the top left hand side of my chest in the nipple area and it has just started on the left hand side below the ribs
Answered by Dr. Bhaskar Semitha
Sharp pain in your chest and left side may indicate two possibilities. Costochondritis is inflammation of rib cartilage, causing discomfort. Muscle strain is another potential reason for your symptoms. To find relief, rest, apply warmth, and gently stretch. Stay hydrated, avoid strenuous activities. If pain persists, consult a cardiologist for proper evaluation.
