Please go get it checked out. I've had it in the past, once it was costochondritis but when I had it last year I tested positive in my blood for a clot so had to have a ct scan etc.

Anything with your left side including pain and even feeling of numbness on your arm or leg should definitely get checked asap. You want to be sure it is not a vascular problem.

Please do get it checked.. I had a similar pain and it turned out to be clots in my lungs.. my husband’s presence of mind to take me to the ED saved my life..

I have it from musculoskeletal problem.

But any chest pain get checked ASAP

@Stacey yeah I've had consistent headaches that become migraines and dizziness but no temp, my blood pressure is also good so I don't think its preeclampsia because sometimes chest pain can indicate that
I'll check with my Dr though just to be safe

@Stacey let's hope they go away and are just a normal symptom of pregnancy!!

Definitely get checked! I had sharp pain in my right side 8 weeks pp and ended up having clots in both lungs and a partially collapsed lung as a result!
