Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Left sided chest pain should always be evaluated for heart diseases first.
You are also having abnormal ecg, so possibility of heart disease is more.
So consult cardiologist and get done blood pressure monitoring, 2d echo, stress test (trade mill test) and coronary angiography.
You may need cardiac supportive drugs on the basis of reports.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
