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.
