question: Hi; I am a 51 yo female; 5 3 130 lbs. I started having sharp, pulsating left sided chest pain this morning while folding laundry. Lots of pressure, like I had something heavy sitting on my chest. The pain went through to my spine. I laid down to rest and fell asleep; when I woke, the pain was mostly gone. The pain has returned now, but a dull aching heaviness I can feel pulsating when I fully exhale that feels like it s right up against the ventral side of my spine.
