Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
You are having recurrent bouts of left sided chest pain and occasional breathlessness.
So possibility of heart related diseases like heart failure or coronary artery disease (CAD) is more.
So better to consult cardiologist and get done
1. Blood pressure monitoring
2. Ecg
3. 2d echo
4. Stress test (trade mill test)
5. Coronary angiography (if required).
You may need diuretics and other cardiac supportive drugs on the basis of these reports.
Don't worry, you will be alright.
But first diagnose yourself and then start appropriate treatment.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
