What Causes Chest Pain On Left Side With Sore Muscles?

i have been having a chest pain on my left side for about 6 months. It almost feels like a sore muscle but it worries me because it is on the left side but it is above my chest and when i move it will go away. I have large breasts so i didn't know if it had to do with that. I also suffer from a mild case of anxiety and take 20 MG of Paxil for it. Should I be worried that it has to do with my heart? My anxiety makes me worry more I think.

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Yoi are having chronic left sided chest pain.
So we should definitely rule out heart diseases for your symptoms.
So get done ecg, 2d echo and stress test (trade mill test).
If all these are normal then no need to worry for heart diseases.
Uncontrolled stress and anxiety can also cause similar symptoms.
So avoid stress and tension, be relax and calm.
Continue anxiolytic drugs.
Don't worry, you will be alright.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
