Hi, I am a 30 year old woman and I have been experiencing stabbing pain in my chest on the left side, breathlessness and severe numbness in my left leg. I also have a dull ache in my chest quite often. I am not sure what is wrong. Do you have any ideas? Many thanks
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. As a rule in chest pain we have to rule out cardiac cause first. So better to get done ECG first. If it is normal than no need to worry about cardiac cause. Get done chest x-ray to rule out lung cause. If both of the above are normal than we should role out anemia and thyroid problems. So get done CBC to rule out anemia. Get done S.TSH to rule out thyroid diseases. If these are also normal than your symptoms might be due to anxiety.  So avoid stress and anxiety. Be relax and calm.
