@drjoe_md: Precordial Catch Syndrome (PCS) is a benign and common condition typically affecting children and adolescents, characterized by sudden, sharp chest pains localized on the left side near the heart. These pains are brief, lasting a few seconds to minutes, and can be exacerbated by deep breathing or certain movements, but are not associated with exercise. PCS is thought to arise from nerve or muscle strain in the chest wall, and it does not involve the heart. The condition is harmless and typically resolves on its own without treatment. Unlike more serious cardiac conditions, PCS does not involve other symptoms such as radiating pain, dizziness, or shortness of breath. #chestpain #heartattack #precordialcatchsyndrome #medicaladvice #healthtips

I’ve been experiencing this on and off in the same spot on the left side all afternoon and it’s so annoying. Not followed by any other symptoms just hurts when it hits
