Seek a second opinion from another doctor, or probably refer yourself to a specialist?

There are many heart tests you still haven't done. Chest pain is the second most common reason for a visit to the ER and is not to be taken lightly. Pain on the left side is usually attributed to the heart.
You need more tests done to be sure like an Xray. Blood tests will show if your organs are healthy. It could be anything from a gallbladder problem like me to a pulmonary embolism. Insist on more tests.
You were obviously concerned enough to go to the doctor in the first place...so don't be comfortable with that answer. My doctors said it was nothing until I insisted it was my gallbladder....and I was right all along.

it's possible that you have strained the muscles in your rib cage. That's what's producing the pain and the trouble with breathing.
Go to another doctor and ask him if you have strained the muscles in your ribcage. It takes rest and massage therapy to take the pain down in the ribs.

I would say either go to a new doctor or go back to your current doctor and tell him you think something is wrong and be very serious. Doctors will help you if you really need it.

bad case of GERD. when this happens drink a carbonated drink and you will know if it's GERD by belching and getting relief. If this doesn't give any relief after you have drank the whole drink, then I would go back to a doctor about it

I don't think it's anything big, but I think that you should consult another doctor for a second opinion.

WELL I WOULD HAVE TO KNOW HOW LONG YOU HAVE HAD THIS PAIN AND DO YOU GET UT WHEN OU RUN OR ANYTIME? COULD BE A PULLED MUSLE OR A SPRAIN IN YOUR SHOULDER OR CHEST MUSCLE.
