Re: Left side chest pain

Hi. Here is Dr Joshua's blog entry about chest pain: http://www.drjoshua.com/2006/02/18/c...rt-disease-or/

Chest pain is not always cause by heart disorders. Since you were relieved when you took Protonix which is a medication for acid-reflux disease, then maybe your chest pain is caused by stomach acids, only your doctor can confirm this though. Other conditions that can present as chest pain include: lung conditions, sore muscles, injured ribs, gallbladder or pancreas probems and costochondritis- the inflammation of the cartilage that joins the ribs to the breast bone.
