Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your situation and problem.
In my opinion, we should first rule out cardiac cause for your left sided chest pain.
So get done ecg and 2d echo.
If both are normal, than no need to worry for heart diseases.
Sometimes, stress and anxiety can also cause similar symptoms.
So better to consult psychiatrist and get done counseling sessions. Try to identify stressor in your life and start working on its solution.
You may need anxiolytic drugs too. So avoid stress and tension, be relax and calm. 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.
