Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. In my opinion you are having musculoskeletal cause mostly for your symptoms. But better to rule out cardiac cause first for left sided chest pain. So get done ECG to rule out cardiac cause. If its normal then no need to worry much. It is due to musculoskeletal cause. Try to follow these steps.1. Avoid heavyweight lifting.2. Avoid strenuous exercise.3. Avoid movements causing pain.4. Take good painkiller and muscle relaxant.5. Apply warm water pad on affected site.6. Start left shoulder physiotherapy.
