Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Sudden onset left sided chest pain should always be evaluated for heart diseases.
So first get done ecg, 2d echo and stress test (trade mill test).
If all these are normal then no need to worry for heart diseases.
Sometimes undiagnosed stress and anxiety can also cause similar kind of chest pain.
So avoid stress and tension, be relax and calm.
Don't worry, you will be alright but first rule out heart diseases.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
