    Dull ache

    I am still getting the dull ache on my left side above my left breast. IT feels like someone is leaning on it all the time. In a shop today and the pain shot towards the centre of my chest and made me sweat and feel faint a bit. It went away as quick as it come. It still feels sore but as I said earlier the doc told me its a muscle strain..just wish I could get taht in my head because the more I think of it the more it aches !. Its like one big vicious circle ! I know its not my heart as i have had various ECGs and my cholesterol and BP are spot on !. Wish I could get these morbid thoughts out of my head and get back to being the joviual person I know that I am !

    Do some regular stretches of all your torso upwards and stretch out to the sides which should relieve it.

    Swimming is good too..

    I get that EXACT same pain. It's on the left side of my breast and I get it about once a week for a couple of hours at a time. It can sometimes spread to the centre of my chest. Don't know what it is though..

    i get a similar pain around my chest. the only thing i find that works is listening to my relaxation cd - it's all about relaxing your muscles (which i find impossible to do) and relaxation techniques seem to help with this.

    You lot dont worry, i had this for a while and went through heart attacks and every other test i needed. i ended up going to a chiropractitioner who treated me for a ceasedmuscle in my between tyhe little ribs in my chest. after 4 sessions i was totally healed and felt like i could get a full lungfull of air and felt great... it also made my back feel tight because obviously the ribs go from the centre of your chest to the spine .. there is nothing to worry about and a few self help strectching exercises can help immensly!!
    hope this helps !!!

    I have this too and it really hurts [}]

    I find that it goes away when I relax. Try taking some deep breathes and relaxing your shoulder muscles. If that fails I take some paracetamol and that normally does the trick.

    I am a frequent suffer of this myself. I can say that I have improved
    but still stop in my tracks, sweat a little and then reassure myself that I have had all the tests indicating I am fine. If I move around or distract it disappears. There is sometimes I pop a rolaid and it goes away. I do think that it is gas when it is dull.
