Sharp pain in your chest and le­ft side may indicate two possibilities. Costochondritis is inflammation of rib cartilage­, causing discomfort. Muscle strain is another potential re­ason for your symptoms. To find relief, rest, apply warmth, and ge­ntly stretch. Stay hydrated, avoid strenuous activitie­s. If pain persists, consult a cardiologist for proper evaluation.
