Hello doctor! I had pain in my left chest, went to the hospital to have blood tests and electrocardiograms, my heart beat a little faster, the doctor concluded that I had an intercostal nerve. I took the medicine for a while and then the symptoms were back. When you feel a sharp pain in the left side, it is accompanied by shortness of breath, the heart beats faster than usual. Although I do not do heavy work that affects my breasts I am 24 years old this year and have had this condition for 2 years. Before I was 12 years old, there was a time when I had trouble breathing and couldn't sleep but had to sleep. I also went to the doctor in my hometown and was diagnosed with a lack of red blood cells. Until recently, I felt pain in my left chest and sometimes felt like my heart was just filtering hot blood through. So the doctor asked me if the left chest pain with shortness of breath, fast heartbeat is a sign of heart disease? Ask your doctor for advice. I would like to thank you.
