Hi,
The left side chest pain has to be ruled out for cardiovascular disease. If this is not the pulmonary disease then it has to be looked for cardiac disease now, and for that EKG is the test. Besides this, the symptoms of chest pain can be due to acid peptic disease (hyperacidity). On an empirical basis, Omeprazole can be taken in tablet form, but EKG is a must.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
