Suggest Treatment For Chest Pain

I am a 36 year old female, mother of two (boy 8 years and girl 3 years). I weigh 70kgs and my height approximiately should be 5.4. My problem is that I have started getting a lot of pain in the left side of my chest and feel a little breathless at times. I feel my chest area very sore and hurts a lot that I am unable to even touch it with force. Can you please advise what my problem would be.

Chest pain with tenderness on chest is less likely to be of cardiac origin. But I would stillsuggest you to get done ECG and Chest X ray. ECG for cardiac cause and Chest X ray for lung pathology. If all comes normal which is likely in your case, its just a muscular pain. Get simple pain killers and forget about it.
