Question: i have severe left elbow pain for about an hour. i just know had what i thought was going to be bad indigestion but that went away. the elbow pain is still there.
Brief Answer:
Might be tendonitis, or bursitis
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX
Welcome.
I have gone through your query.
Is there any history of injury?
Is there any tenderness when you touch the affected part?
Is there any discolouration of the affected area?
Do you play any games? Like tennis, badminton
Based on the information, It sounds like you may have a tendonitis or bursitis in your elbow. Use ice and antiinflammatory medication like ibuprofen to help relieve the pain and inflammation. It may also be helpful to wear a supportive wrap like an ace bandage for a few days.
If the pain is worsening or not resolving after trying these things then you may need to see orthopaedician for xray and for further evaluation.
Hope this helps
If you any further queries I'll be glad to address it.
Take care

so you do not think the elbow pain is related to this pain in my chest?
Brief Answer:
Might be due to indigestion, better get yourself examined
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX
Welcome.
Pain in the chest might be due to indigestion, but it is better if you get yourself examined by the local doctor to exclude any heart related issues.
But on the information that you hhave provided, I feel it may be bursitis.
