Hello,
Thanks for the query to H.C.M.. Forum.
1 May be due to pericardial effusion ( pericarditis ) can be confirmed by M R I and consult a cardiologist and get his opinion.
As there is breathlessness ( shortness of breath),
left side pain ,
chest hurts, even aspirin and tramadol ( most potent pain killer ) are not effective.
In my opinion this is an emergency and you should consult a cardiologist at once.
2 myocardial infarction as this is an acute stage hence consult a physician as E K G shows findings after 6-12 hours of attack.
In my opinion deal accordingly above mentioned .
Good luck.
