Dear friend, welcome to HCM.
heart trouble usually gives pain on the left chest wall.
your cause is something else. does it hurt on pressing that area?
is it dull aching or sharp, shooting pain?
pl. post more details to enable us to answer. pl. get checked by a physician. there are many causes that needs in person checkup.
take care and keep me posted on your progress.
