Brief Answer:
Following answer to your query.
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you for asking!
I read your query and understood your concerns.
The first thing to do in your case is to go to ER. You are experiencing again pain on the left side and cardiac problems should be excluded with:
- blood work including cardiac enzymes
- ecg
- cardiac echo
- chest x ray
If cardiac problems are excluded than you are probably over acting and should stay calm and relaxed.
Hope this will be of help!
Wish you health!
