Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
In my opinion, you should should definitely consult cardiologist and rule out angina pain and other heart diseases.
Left sided chest pain and left shoulder tingling sensation (pins and needles) are commonly seen in heart diseases.
So get done
1. Blood pressure monitoring
2. Ecg
3. 2d echo.
If all these are normal then no need to worry for heart diseases.
Sometimes stress and anxiety can also cause similar symptoms. So avoid stress and tension, if you have and be relax and calm.
Don't worry, you will be alright. But first rule out heart diseases.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
