...left side of my chest. Help.? I don't smoke. I exercise regularly. I try to eat somewhat healthy. I have a three-year-old son. The pain goes away after a few minutes. Am I having a heart attack? The pain is just to the left of my sternum, not under my breast at all.I haven't had the flu or any sinus problems that I recall. I don't have any other symptoms. Should I worry?No dizziness or nausea. I'm not even doing anything at the time- just sitting. I have been using the weight machines at the gym more often, though.

Hvae you had a flu or blocked sinus?It could be your lungs have a build up of Phlegm?

It was probably just gas. That happens to me too occasionally and even though you may not be farting, it doesn't mean that you aren't gassy. The only way i can describe it is, sometimes when I breathe in I get a sharp pain and if i hold my breath it stops.. it feels like an air bubble.. then I breathe in slowly and if it still hurts i hold me breath again.. only have to do it a few seconds till it passes.

Is it accompaniied by other symptoms like dizziness or nausea? could be muscular as you work out, but why tempts the fates? Schedule a dr's. appt SOON and tell him all the same things your concerned about...esp with pain on the left side.

It could possibly be something like an angina pain, although with such a short duration something like indigestion is probably far more likely especially given the lack of any risk factors for heart disease in what you have mentioned.If the symptoms continue it might be a good idea to get it checked out for your own peace of mind, the same goes for if the pain comes on and continues for a prolonged period (in excess of say 20 minutes) or becomes significantly more severe.Also do you have a family history of cardiac problems of some kind (specifically in close members of your family, note most families have some so mostly only close (by genetic heritage) blood relatives are cause of concern) ie siblings, parents and possibly grand parents, less so uncles/aunts and other extended family.One thing I can tell you for sure is your symptoms do not sound like a Myocardial infarction (heart attack) the symptoms would last significantly longer than a few minutes and would be excruciatingly painful usually with pain radiating out into the left arm etc and with concurrent shortness of breath etc.the symptoms also typically have an onset lasting several minutes before reaching their peak and persist for some time (They are often preceded by angina like symptoms involving pain for 20 minutes or longer in the patients history prior to a full MI as well).So I think you should not be too worried, although as I say if the pain gets significantly worse and/or you have an episode lasting 20 minutes or longer then you may wish to see your doctor, if pain persists in a single episode for longer than 20 minutes an ambulance would be advisable however as that could indicate something serious, especially if it is combined with a feeling of chest tightness, shortness of breath, fatigue, or weakness.
