Suggest Treatment For Left Sided Chest Pain

Nerve or muscle pain.
Detailed Answer:
Hello!
Thank you for the query.
From your description, it seems to be muscle or nerve related superficial pain. It does not seem to be caused by lung issue or pleural issue.
For lungs problem and pleural problem, cough is a very characteristic symptom, not pain.
If your pain is sharp, well localized and gets more intense when breathing and less intense when the chest is not moving, rib nerve pain it is. It may appear due to some muscle inflammation, rib nerve irritation.
Spine disc problem due to compression on the nerves can also give chest pain. For this type of pain it is characteristic to get more intense when lifting heavy objects.
I suggest you to make a simple test. Try to take a hot bath and take some Ibuprophen. If this will help, nerve or muscle pain it is.
You should also consult orthopedist with this issue.
Hope this will help. Feel free to ask further questions.
Regards.
