I'm experiencing some sudden pain on the left side of my chest and leg, specifically around the knee, and I'm not sure what's going on. The pain tends to come and go, and it's been like this since yesterday. There's no pain in my hand, just the leg and chest. Do you have any advice or know of any tablets I could take to help with this?

"Based on your symptoms of sudden chest pain and left leg pain, it is important to rule out any serious conditions such as a heart attack or blood clot. However, if the pain is intermittent and not severe, it could be musculoskeletal in nature. I recommend taking Tablet Acetaminophen 500mg for pain relief. You can take 1 tablet every 6 hours as needed for chest and leg pain. Make sure to rest and avoid any strenuous activities until the pain subsides."
