What Does Chest Pain On The Left Side Indicate?

I am a 51 yr old female. I woke up four days ago with the following : pain in left chest, and left side of back/shoulder area, which feels like a pulled muscle. I just thought I slept wrong and today I also have indigestion in addition to the muscle pain. For the last 2 months I have been treated for asthma symptoms with daily inhalers which made me sicker (throat closing, and a harder time breathing, and hot flashes ). chest xray was clear. My doctor stopped them about a 1 1/2 weeks ago. are these symptoms of a heart attack?

Hello,

You should do ECG and consult the physician and do blood test according to their advice. You can take paracetamol if pain persists.
