hello dear
thanks for your query at HCM
pain in the left side of the chest can be due to various reason starting from muscle, bone , lung and mainly cardiac problems
anxiety can cause increased heart beat and feeling of the pain in the chest
if still have doubts get one ECG , x ray and TMT test done that will rule out any major problem regarding heart and lungs.
avoid stress, take good amount of sleep , skip junk foods.

hi i had gone through your query and understand your concerns. i would come up with two most possibilities to fit your condition .these include
1.first possibility is ANGINA PECTORIS;ECG may confirm the diagnosis.
2.second possibility is gas trouble (or APD ACID PEPSIC DYSPEPSIA ).irregular dietary habits,modern lifestyles (drinking,smoking,etc),EXCESSIVE USE OF PAIN KILLERS,ANTIBIOTICS,STEROIDS for even minor complaints, CURRY,HURRY,,NIGHT WATCHING,SUPPRESSED STRONG EMOTIONS are the main causative factors.
I hope this is helpful for you, thank you

Hi,
Thanks for using Healthcaremagic,
After going through your available details,you have chest pain and palpitation.
It can be due to anxiety but it should be properly examined and investigated before reaching the final diagnosis.
You have not mentioned your age which helps, but visit a Physician and get ECG, X ray chest, 2 D echocardiography and if required Tread mill test and Holter monitoring.
A upper G.I Endoscopy is useful to rule out causes related to stomach.
If everything is fine then just relax follow healthy life style avoid alcohol and smoking and too much tea or coffee.
Hope this helps.
Take care
Good Luck
