Suggest Treatment For Sharp Pain In Left Side Of Chest

I am a 17 year old boy and around 6 months ago i started having excruciating sharp pains that don't usually last over a minute in the left side of my chest. I have experimented with marijuana and alcohol. also i have worked out and used supplement since age 14. I have never taken any pro hormones or anything like that just pre and post workout drinks. I would like to know what is going on with my heart what would be the best plan of action to find this out or could you tell me what is wrong with me.

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
In my opinion, you should first get done blood pressure monitoring, ecg, 2d echo and stress test (trade mill test) to rule out cardiac diseases for your chest pain.
If all these are normal then no need to worry for heart diseases.
Sometimes musculoskeletal pain can be the cause.
So apply warm water pad on affected areas.
Take simple painkiller like paracetamol or ibuprofen.
Don't take Marijuana or alcohol as they are not good for health.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
