thanks for your question
I completely understand your question
chest pain on left side may be due to variety of reasons loke heart ailments , lung ailments , or a simple gastrirtis or peptic ulcer
in young age group heart diseases are less common and as you said your heart is clean.
you need to visit a pulmonologist who can get a chest xray done to rule out any lung diseases, as for now you can take a proton pump inhibitors like pantoprazole once a day after consulting a pulmonologist.
dont panic
thanks
feel free to ask more questions
may god bless you with good health
