Chest Pain - Pulmonology or Gastroenterologist?Hello,
I am need of some advice. I have been getting chest pain on my left side just below the peck "boob" what ever you call if for a guy, lol I have been getting this pain off and on since 2001. I have talked to my doctor and I have had a stress test back in 2001. They doctor said it is not my heart. Currently I am 38 and a non-smoker and I think I am pretty good heath beside the pain in the chest. This pain does concern me because how long it has been going off and on for the past 8 years. I not sure if I should see a different doctor like a pulmonologist or gastroenterologist? To describe the pain: It is a steady dull/pressure pain but some times a burn sensation like when you stretch a mussel when I exhale. The pain goes from the center of my chest just below the peck "boob" to the left side just blow the arm pit. the reason I think of seeing a gastroenterologist is because if I can get myself to burp that's if I can at that time it release some of the pressure sensation for a little bit but the dull pain still stays. The doctor in the past has gave me a cortazone shot in that area thinking it might be a pulled mussel but it did not help. Sometime if I sleep on that side I will wake up with that pain. I very little get heart burn maybe once out of six months or more. If I get indigestion it is different then the chest pain and I only get that once in awhile just like heart burn. No one seems to know what is wrong so far and what I know so far it is not my heart from the test the doctors have preformed on me. Maybe it is something with my lung. When I first got this pain I worked in an old court house that had mold. Any help would be great! Thank You Sidney
