Hello
Left sided chest pain may be due to many causes like cardio-pulmonary causes.Other causes may be due to stress,muculoskeletal causes etc.
It is always safe to exclude cardio-pulmonary causes in chest pain.
You may need proper clinical examination and few investigations.
Investigations include routine hemogram,random blood sugar,liver function test,lipid profile,urine RE/ME,chest X-ray (PA view),ultrasound of abdomen,ECG,TMT,ECHO.
Proper treatment depend upon findings.
Get well soon.
