Myocardial infarction, better known as heart attack, is a very alarming cause of pain on left side of the chest.
Aside from the causes mentioned above, it is sometimes lifestyle considerations that are responsible for left side chest pain. This gas forms within the intestine and stomach and goes up to the chest, presses against the wall and causing you to feel pain in the left chest area. There are several causes of left side chest pain and each one of them has their own form of treatment.
These symptoms usually trigger pain from in the shoulder blades and jaws, with nausea, tightened chest, dizziness and blurry vision.
It is best described as a feeling of pressure, tightness and constriction in the left side area of the chest.
If a person is experiencing other symptoms such as bloating, belching and abdominal pain, he or she is, therefore, probably not experiencing a heart attack but suffering from acidity or gas or heartburn. Stress can often be the main factor; people who go through stress often complain of a certain pain in the left side of their chest. So before you actually treat whatever left chest pain you are feeling, try to consult your doctor for diagnosis. However, left side chest pain should never be ignored and your symptoms should be considered carefully.
If the artery remains blocked for longer than 15 minutes the tissues in the chest area start to die and cause left side chest pain. Whenever you feel chest pain in the left area, it is best advised to seek medical attention.
