Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Do you have chest pain also?
Check for symptoms like sweating, chest tightness, headache, sweating and smoking increases the risk of cardiac diseases.
Get done your ECG and check lipid profile.
Check your blood pressure too.
Chest tightness/pain with left shoulder pain may indicate myocardial Infarction.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards
