Recently I noticed that when I take in a deep breath, I get a pain in the left side of my chest. It is not intense, but it was sharp enough that it startled me. It is only noticeable when I breathe deeply. It feels somewhat like the pressure/tightness of an asthma attack without any difficulty of moving air. (Yes, I do have asthma but this does not appear to be related to it.)
Also, I have been noticing some sporadic tingling in my fingers and my face the last few days.
I have no idea if these two are related or not. I plan on seeing a doctor, but in the meantime I was wondering if anyone might have insight. Thanks.

a couple of things come to my mind
1. Tingling could be a stroke/ lack of oxygen/pinched nerve
Hard to say since I do not know your age, weight and medical background
2. Left side chest pain Heart attack/Gas/ chest cold
Again hard to give a DX since I don't know your back ground.
Heart attack would be my main thought though. Tingling for several days makes me think other wise. Go see your Dr. Have hive Draw heart Enzymes Troponin/CKMB Those are the enzymes that are released into the blood if you have had a heart attack ( death if the muscle) They will more than likely do an EKG as well. This could potentially be serious. If you think it is don't mess around on here get your butt to the docs.

Call you doctor and let him examine you. it might be a sign of a heart condition or something and you don't want anything bad to happen unexpectedly. Hope you feel better soon!

Normally on here I answer the question and get aggravated when people make the following statement "WHY AREN'T YOU AT THE HOSPITAL?!"
