How to calculate chest pain on left site.. Age 45year and gas..asid..

I have really bad chest pains located on the left side of my chest. I seem to have some shoulder pain as well. The pain reaches all the way down past my shoulder blade, to about 3 inches lower than my should blade with my arms rested. I have gone to the E.R. and they have taken X-Rays 3 times, checked my heart with a machine and told me my results looked "great". I told them it wasn't "great" because they still haven't diagnosed it and I have been living through the most unbearable pain for 4 months now. When I wake up, the pain is just a faint squeezing sensation in my lower back, left side. As soon as I get up, the pain starts and continues to grow and worsen throughout the day. It hurts so bad I wish I was dead almost every night. The doctors assigned to me through Medi-Cal in South Lake Tahoe seem to not care or take my condition seriously. I had been given Flexeral sometimes, but it only sometimes works. Combination of Flexeral and Vicodent rarely helps, and does for a very short limited amount of time. I don't know what to do. I used to smoke Vape Pens, and cough a lot. I haven't smoked anything in over a month and the muscle pain/strain seems to just grow and get worse. Is there anything I can tell the doctor to get this properly diagnosed? I am hurting so much every day, anti-inflammatory like Advil seems to take an hour to work, and only alliviates some pain for half an hour before it is back to extreme pain. I literally can sit on the couch all day and the pain grows. No matter how I sit, rest, stand, it grows throughout the day, Someone please help!

HI Charles- I have similar symptoms, when I run about 12 miles twice a week, go to the gym (light lifting) also twice, I have huge pressure in my left lung, just in the heart area.is like i have golf ball between Heart and lung. Pressure when I breath, cannot sleep on the left or left back side due the pain. The pain goes if I do not exercise however I can still feel a bit of pressure. I suspected Pleuritis and went for X-Ray; however nothing, the Doc said I can keep the active life; but is not normal to have pain after it. I hop folks will read your will advise on mine too. by the way I am 42 in case age is a indicator here. I suppose MRI would be in order for detailed diagnosis i am afraid. Good luck and I hope you are feeling better!
