Brief Answer:
Left-sided
chest pain often related to cardiopathy
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query,
Sorry for your troubles. I am pleased to be able to assist you.
The organ of interest when faced with a left-sided chest pain is the heart as most of the conditions that cause this are often related to heart problems. Given your age, the most likely cause will be coronary heart diseases with the most problem being unstable
angina pectoris which can often show normal on routine heart evaluations. Since the condition is temporary, will not be detected on ECG or cardiac ultrasound but including a
stress test may often show some positive results.
Other conditions such as
recurrent pericarditis, stable angina pectoris,
aortic dissection etc need to be ruled out and I do believe that the tests previously conducted were aimed in ruling those out.
Besides heart related conditions, then origin might be more superficial with you suffering from a condition such as
costochondritis (which is rare in young adults) or of lung origin ( I suggest you get an x-ray of the chest).
In the meantime, you can be placed on medications such as aspirin which can help treat symptoms. Consulting a cardiologist in future could become a necessity.
Other conditions such as anxiety can rarely cause left-sided chest pain and you might need to be given anxiolytics.
Low levels of vitamin D will hardly result to chest pain and can be corrected with supplements of vitamin D and calcium.
Hope this helps and wish you the best.
