recently ive been getting these sharp pains in the left part of my chest, i believe it my left lung. It comes and goes and it only hurts when i try and breathe in. If anyone has or has had this problem could you shine some light on it?

if it only hurts when you try to breath in then it is probably just gas and nothing to worry about

been having the same problem myself for about the past year now. Im a lottle too afraid to go to the doctor. I hope its nothing serious. All of my life, from time to time I would have a sharp pain in the same area. Would go away when I took a deep breath. This has seemed to stay.

It could be so many things. Make an appointment with a Dr. immediately, to make sure it is not anything serious. I get pains in my left chest that are just from anxiety, because I have an anxiety disorder. But I have had the tests done to make sure it was nothing else.

it could be what they call pleursy, it is air trapped in the lining of the lung or rib cage, i get it all the time. does it also hurt more if you lay on one side or the other, or move a certain way? a more serious one could be your heart , it is located on the left side under your rib cage. if it doesnt go away i would have it checked out, it is better to be safe then sorry. i hope the best for you

You can't rely to much on health answers here.
Far be it from me to tell another person to see a doctor when I put up with all my aches & pains & don't see a doctor.
But if it really bothers you a lot that is what you should do.

Did you hurt your ribs? They say that it one of the most painful things to crack, bruise or break in your body cause it hurts when you breathe.
