What is the reason for the frequent dull pain in the left chest?

If we always feel pain in the left side of our chest in our daily life. So, we recommend that everyone should go to a professional hospital in time to have an effective physical examination. Many times, I always find myself having pain in the left chest, but I don’t know why I often have this dull pain in my left chest. Generally, pain in the left chest is caused by the following factors.

1. Chest wall disease

Certain chest wall diseases may also cause patients to experience symptoms of left chest pain. Therefore, people who often have symptoms such as chest discomfort in daily life must pay special attention. Normally, if the pain is caused by chest wall disease, it usually has the characteristics of clear and fixed location. In addition, if you observe carefully, you will find local redness, swelling, tenderness, rash, deformity, etc. Therefore, when there is dull pain in the left chest, you should first pay attention to observation.

For example, intercostal neuritis causes pain that is mainly paroxysmal and stabbing. For these patients, it is best to go to the hospital for examination and treatment as soon as possible to prevent the disease from continuing to develop.

2. Heart disease

It can be said that heart disease is the most likely disease to cause left chest pain. We can judge based on the location and position of the chest pain. Usually, pain behind the sternum is mostly a manifestation of angina pectoris. In addition to angina pectoris, dull pain in the left chest may also be caused by other heart diseases, such as myocardial infarction, left-sided pneumonia, etc. If the chest pain radiates to the left shoulder, it can be confirmed as angina pectoris. No matter what kind of heart disease it is, once it is discovered, it should be treated actively as soon as possible.

In addition to judging whether it is a heart disease by left chest pain, we can also judge based on other symptoms in daily life, such as chest tightness and shortness of breath, teeth marks on the tongue, etc. These are common manifestations of heart disease.
