My chest has been hurting on and off for the past couple of months, mostly on the left side but sometimes on the right as well. Ive already done tests like ECG, TMT, 2D Echo, and a chest X-ray, and the doctor said everything looks normal. Can you suggest what I might do to relieve this pain? I've attached the report as well.

take tablet zerodol twice a day for 5 days

I'm experiencing a mild pain on the left side of my chest, and I'm not really sure what's going on. Could you recommend a medicine that might help? If it doesn't get better, I'm thinking of coming in for a check-up and more treatment. What do you suggest?

I recommend taking Acetaminophen 500mg for your mild chest pain on the left side. You can take 1-2 tablets every 4-6 hours as needed for pain relief. If the pain persists or worsens, it is advisable to seek further medical evaluation.
