What Causes Heaviness On Left Side Of Chest?

I am 49 years old with a pretty average body weighing 127 pounds. I am feeling heaviness in my left side of the chest. at this point of time when i am writing to you i am not doing any activity and just sitting down on my computer desk at work and it feels heavier on the left side when compared to the right side of the chest. the left side of the chest seems to grab my attention frequently while i am working. it does not pain in the chest nor in my arms, just the left side of the chest feels heavier, . can you please tell me if the feeling of usual heaviness in the chest relate to the heart?
can you also please tell me what could be the other reasons for the feeling of heaviness in the chest.?
