Jakarta - Question:
Permission to ask Doc...

The pain that arises sometimes seems heavy and piercing. Now along with the swelling on the left chest. However, his swelling position is at the upper chest.
I also felt one of my sternum kind of swell and very painful when touched. Think I'm sick of what, Doc? Should we consult the hospital?

Answer:
Left chest pain complaints can come from both the heart and from outside the heart. What we need to be aware of is the source of a coronary artery, because if a complaint is severe, it can be a symptom of a heart attack.
And for that reason, we need to know some of the typical signs of complaints from possible chest pains that are derived from coronary blood spasms that we call the Coroner's Akut Syndrome.
This condition requires immediate medical attention. The Akut Coroner Syndrome (SKA) is suspicious when it comes to complaints of left chest pain:
A sense of such a heavy burden or such as being stabbed or uncomfortable that the location cannot be explained exactly.
Pain can sometimes go into the jaw, back, or the left arm.
It took more than 15 minutes and it didn't get better by taking a break.
Sometimes there's cold sweat, asphyxiation, nausea, vomiting, anxiety, and irregular pulse.
If the chest pain complaints can be localized, then the pain can be pointed right at the pain, and then it increases when the position changes like sideways to the left or increase during the cough, from the symptoms probably not the source of the heart coronary artery.
But it could be a source of:
A pericarditis-wrapped membrane or a pleuritis wrapper that occurs due to friction due to a change in body position.
The source of the pain outside the heart is like from the muscle or the bone in the chest.
For that, if the complaint continues, it is better to go to a doctor or a health facility like a hospital for further inspection.
Such as electrocardiography and X-rays to ensure the correct diagnosis and treatment.
