Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
In my opinion, we should rule out cardiac cause for symptoms.
Left sided chest pain, left arm numbness, sweating, breathing difficulty etc are commonly seen with heart diseases like coronary artery disease (CAD) and heart failure.
So better to consult doctor and get done
1. Blood pressure monitoring
2. Ecg
3. 2d echo
4. Stress test (trade mill test).
You may need cardiac supportive drugs on the basis of these reports.
If all these are normal then no need to worry for heart diseases.
Sometimes stress and anxiety can also cause similar symptoms. So avoid stress and tension, be relax and calm.
Don't worry, you will be alright but first rule out heart diseases.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
