Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Left sided chest pain is commonly seen with heart diseases.
So we should first rule out heart related pain in your case.
So get done
1. Blood pressure monitoring
2. Ecg
3. 2d echo.
If all these are normal then no need to worry for heart diseases.
Sometimes muscular pain can also cause similar symptoms.
So take painkiller and muscle relaxant drugs. Apply warm water pad on affected areas. Avoid heavyweight lifting and strenuous exercise.
Don't worry, you will be alright,but first rule out heart diseases.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
