What Causes Recurrent Pain In The Chest On The Left Side?

I have recurrent pain in my left chest. I sometimes even cant sleep in my left side. Currently I face a little short breath...I like to open my mouth and take in a lot of air...but that is when I am feeling pain. Sometimes I feel my leg is weak, as if it is not strong

Pulmonologist,  's  Response
Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
In my opinion, we should definitely rule out lung diseases like lung infection and bronchitis.
Both these diseases cause chest pain, breathing difficulty etc.
So consult pulmonologist and get done clinical examination of respiratory system, chest x ray and PFT (Pulmonary Function Test).
You may need antibiotics, inhaled bronchodilators (formoterol or salmeterol) and inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) (budesonide or fluticasone).
Don't worry, you will be alright.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
