chest pains

[werd]

I have been getting constant pains in my chest the past 2 years. It is mainly on my left side but sometimes shifts to the centre. I visited a doctor a year ago, he took x rays and told me he thinks its my back as he said my heart and lungs looked fine. I have been going to physio and cannot tell if it is working as it comes and goes. Suggestions? it worries me sometime. I am not sure if I should get other tests other then x rays. The doctor did not suggest anything. Cheers

Hi and welcome,

I found this interesting article by a physician speakng of the many kinds of chest pain and some causes.

Two years is a long time to have such with out any further complications but I think I would persue another opinion and also a referral to a neurologist for further testing to come to a diagnosis.

Good Luck,
