Not your heart: Clearly this pain is not coming from your heart. Other possibilities for left sided chest pain might include: costochondritis, arthritis, rheumatism, chest wall pain, muscular pain; also: peptic ulcer disease, non-ulcer dyspepsia, gall bladder disease (atypical), splenic flexure syndrome, acid reflux disease, esophagitis; finally less likely causes are pleurisy, pleuritis, pneumonia, pericarditis.

Not from your heart: If testing shows no evidence of disease and your symptoms occurs daily upon waking, i suspect possible reflux trouble or chest wall pain such as costochondritis, impingement on the nerve supplying your chest wall, strained muscles in between your ribs, or problem with the ribs themselves. I suggest talking to your doc further and discuss possible additional testing/exam. Good luck.
