14 Causes of Chest Pain On The Left Side

October 14, 2019 | New Articles: Conditions

Chest pain can be scary. Your chest is the location of two of the most vital organs in the body, the lunch and heart. When you experience chest pain on your left side, you tend to assume it’s your heart. While there are many heart conditions and problems that can cause chest pain on the left side of the body, there are many other types of injuries and conditions that can cause similar symptoms.

It’s always a good idea to see a doctor if you have chest pain to rule out a serious cause and to determine the best treatment or course of action to help you feel better fast.

Understanding the possible causes of your chest pain can help you decide if you need to seek emergency medical attention or if you can wait and simply make an appointment with your primary physician. Here are some of the most common causes of chest pain on the left side of your body. 

1. Angina

Angina is a common cause of chest pain on the left side, but it can also be felt on the right side. Angina is not a disease, but more of a symptom of a heart problem. It occurs when the heart does not get enough oxygen and is unable to pump correctly.

If the cause of the angina is not found and treated, it can become a more serious issue and lead to a heart attack or another issue. People who have angina often experience sudden sharp pains in the chest. Doctors can determine the cause of angina and determine if you are at risk for a heart attack or another heart condition.

There are treatments for angina, but those treatments depend on the cause and severity of it. Many people mistake angina for a heart attack because the sensation and pain can be the same. Any time you experience intense heart pain, you should seek medical attention.
