I'm having sharp pains under left breast bone!

Published

I'm sitting here studying for my final and began having sharp stabbing pains under my left breast bone. This is the 3rd time this week. I tooke my vitals 110/77, 66, 96% no real SOB, some mild numbness in left arm, skin warm/dry. Trying to make myself burp, maybe indigestion? I already have an appt. with my Dr. On Monday. Wondering if I should wait or go to ER. Called a couple family members but they are not answering the phone. I'm starting to panic a little...

I understand, just didn't know how seriously I should take it bc I'm still young and have never had any health issues before.

Its probably nothing.

Or maybe a heart attack.

Is that an urgent care you might be able to go to without having to resort to the ER?

Why not call your physician who knows you rather than ask an anonymous message board?

If you don't have a PCP go to urgent care.

No urgent care, go to the ED.

Can't drive yourself, call 911.

It's simple. No one can advise you online. We can't see you. We don't know you. We don't know your medical history. We cannot tell you if it's simple or serious just like we cannot diagnose you. Call your PCP for advice.
