Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Your concern is left sided chest pain. X ray and EKG normal so respiratory and cardiac causes seem less likely. Provide your reports for giving more comment on that. Acidity and gastritis can lead to referred chest pain so rule it out. If no cause found (any abdominal cause if not present) then musculoskeletal pain can be the possibility.

For that non steroid anti-inflammatory drugs can be prescribed like Ibuprofen. Hot compress might be beneficial. Consult physician for examination.

Hope this will help you. Take care!
Regards,
Dr. Parth Goswami
