Good day. Find my response below.

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

As you are telling inflammation in the left chest and hand chest, I need to know a little more detail.

Usually, for us, inflammation means pain and may be swelling. So there are many causes of this. It can be most importantly due to cardiac (heart-related causes)- like angina. There are various types of angina which can be increased mostly due to exertion and are usually associated with pain in the left side of the arm.
It can also be due to neck pain and strain or commonly called cervical spondylosis. There is a pain in the neck and chest radiating to the arm. and may also be associated with some swelling and spasms.

Sometimes any trauma or injury can also cause such type of pain.
Gastroesophageal reflux disease can be related sometimes to this kind of pain and is precipitated by taking spicy or oily food.
Even conditions of the lungs, like infections, or asthma can cause chest pain.

Even low hemoglobin can cause chest pain. So I need to know some detailed information as to what kind of inflammation you are referring to and what are the associated symptoms. Also please send the details of any investigations done. When we have the full details then we can plan the treatment and further investigations if needed. meanwhile, keep a watch on your diet- a balanced bland diet and your posture while working.

I hope I have answered your query adequately. If anything please write back. Thank you.
