I'm feeling some pain on the left side of my chest, and it honestly feels like it's coming from my heart. It's not excruciating, but it's definitely scary and annoying, almost like little stabbing pains. Should I be concerned that this could be a sign of a heart attack?

It's important to rule out any serious conditions like a heart attack. However, based on your description, it could also be musculoskeletal or related to anxiety. To help alleviate the pain and discomfort, you can take Acetaminophen 500mg every 4-6 hours as needed for pain relief. Additionally, if you have a history of acid reflux, you can try taking Omeprazole 20mg once daily before breakfast to see if it helps with the symptoms. Remember to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

How do I know if my chest pain is serious?

Any chest pain needs physical examination by a doctor and tests to know the cause. On a general note, if chest pain is associated with heart burn, abdominal bloating, belching then it may be due to gastritis which may be managed at home. If chest pain is sudden, radiating to left arm/ shoulder and is associated with sweating, breathing issue then it may be due to a cardiac condition which needs immediate hospital visit.
