General Medical Question - Non Urgent - Chest pain?

[XxXflowerfairyXxX]

For the last god knows how long...at least three months, at least once a day when I breathe in I get a sharp pain on the left side of my chest, roughly under my fifth rib up from the bottom directly down from my nipple, ie. in the centre of that rib. It's painful to the extent sometimes I squeak and it can bring tears to my eyes, it can last for up to 5 breaths in before it subsides. Before I go running off to my dr sounding like a I have munchausen's or severe hypochondria does anyone know what could be a cause of pains like this? I'm asthmatic which I don't think is relevant due to the pain being so low down but it might be?

If its been going on for along time then its better to get it seen too. I have no idea, but i hope it gets sorted for you.

It could be indegestion related. I used to get the exact same thing and I got some meds from GP and it sorted out the problem.

Go to your GP and get it checked out to make sure it is just ya digestive pipes being a nuisence and not anything else.
