Chest pain on the left side can be a sign of a heart problem, but it may also be a sign of a less serious health condition, like excess gas, reflux or an anxiety attack.
Pain in the middle of the chest can often be suspected to be a heart attack, but a heart attack is actually one of the rarest causes of middle chest pain.
Right-sided chest pain is usually felt as a result of non-urgent conditions, like a muscle strain, acid reflux, or even excess stress.
Most of the time, chest pain or tightness is actually not a sign of a heart attack. It commonly occurs due to excess gas, anxiety or muscle fatigue.
