Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Left sided chest pain on activity is mostly seen with heart diseases. So we should first rule out heart diseases in your case.
So get done ecg and 2d echo.
If both these are normal then no need to worry for heart diseases.
Sometimes, simple musculoskeletal pain can also cause similar symptoms. So avoid bad postures in sleep. Avoid heavyweight lifting and strenuous exercise. Avoid movements causing pain. Apply warm water pad on affected areas.
Take painkiller like ibuprofen if required.
Don't worry, you will be alright with all these but first rule out heart diseases.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
