Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Chest pain on left side after exertion (climbing stairs) is commonly seen in heart diseases.
So you should definitely consult doctor and get done ecg and 2d echo to rule out heart diseases.
If both are normal then no need to worry for heart diseases.
Musculoskeletal pain can also cause similar symptoms. So avoid heavyweight lifting and strenuous exercise.
Avoid movements causing pain. Avoid bad postures in sleep. Apply warm water pad on affected areas.
Take painkiller and muscle relaxant drugs.
Don't worry, you will be alright. But better to first rule out cardiac diseases.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
