I'm experiencing some chest pain on the left side whenever I take a deep breath. The pain also seems to radiate to my back. I'm having trouble sleeping because of the discomfort in both my chest and back. I'm really concerned about what's going on. Any ideas on what might be causing this and what steps I should take?
