I have repeated intermittent pain in one part of my chest. It is about 3 inches under my collar bone on my left side, about 2 and half inches out from my sternum.

It comes a couple times a day, it doesn't last long and it's sort of a twingy feeling. It feels like it's under my ribs. DH said I should go to the chiropractor, maybe I have a rib out, but I know it's not that.

I'm not sure what is even located there. I don't have chest pain anywhere else.

Any comments, suggestions, experiences welcome.

Have you had your heart checked out? If not.. it might be a good idea.

If so.. I vote the chiropractor too.

Sounds exactly like where my twisted rib is paining me. But I am not a doctor.. and you might check with yours if you continue to feel the pain.

Feel better soon!

I have had this primarily on the right side in the same location you specified. They say rib soreness is a symptom...so maybe it's just that, but to be safe, it wouldn't hurt to get your heart checked out.

It sounds like what I have once in a while: Costochondritis

I know it's most likely nothing else as I've had my heart checked PLENTY of times.
