What Causes Pain On The Left Side Of Upper Chest?

Detailed Answer:
Hello!
Welcome and thank you for asking on HCM!
Your symptoms seem to be related to musculo-skeletal pain, probably a little inflammation.
I think that aleve will really be helpful in this situation.
From the other hand I would exclude any possible cardiac disorder related this symptomatology, because this type of pain is not related to the heart.
If your problems persist, I would recommend consulting with your GP for a careful physical exam and some other tests:
- a chest X ray study to examine your lungs
- some blood lab tests (complete blood count for infection, PCR, sedimentation rate for inflammation).
Meanwhile, I recommend continuing taking aleve, maybe coupled with acetaminophen to help with the pain relief.
Kind regards,
Dr. Iliri
