What Medication Is Suggested For Minor Pains On Left Side Of Chest?

Hi, so every now and then, I get these really minor pains on the left hand side of my chest. They don't last very long and are not associated with any other symptoms as well. Any idea what this pain could be a result of and if I need it to be checked?

Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Left sided chest pain should always be checked for heart diseases.
So better to consult doctor and get
1. Blood pressure monitoring
2. Ecg
3. 2d echo.
If all these are normal then no need to worry heart diseases.
Sometimes simple musculoskeletal pain can also cause similar symptoms.
So take painkiller and muscle relaxant drugs. Apply warm water pad on affected areas. Avoid movements causing pain.
Don't worry, you will be alright. But better to rule out heart diseases first.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
