Ongoing chest pain for over a month with no answers.

Posted , 1 user is following.

I've had chest pain on the inner left pec for over a month now. The pain is only brought on with breathing. Mainly when I take a deep breath and exhale. The pain also occurs at the end range of a deep breath. Sometimes the pain is there when I'm just breathing normal but not as severe. The pain isn't bad enough to stop me from anything. In fact when I exercise I don't notice the pain. The tests I've had are a blood panel which I don't know what they checked for, but what they did check was normal. Also I had an ekg which was also normal. The pain doesn't radiate, nor does it increase with movement. I feel sometimes if I press the area that it doesn't hurt as bad. My doctor set me up with a cardiologist appointment in mid April. I want to think that's not needed but I don't know. I keep wondering if it's a lung infection I don't know about. But after over a month I figured it would get worse. I'm a 29 year old male who is fairly healthy aside from high ldl and lipids due to a bad diet when I stopped exercising. I also have anxiety issues.
