I'm really worried because I've been dealing with breathing issues and pain in my left chest and shoulder for the past four years. I had a chest X-ray, and it came back normal. Why am I still experiencing these symptoms? Should I be concerned, or are there other tests I should consider to get to the bottom of this?
