Q: how to tell the difference between muscle pain and chest pain. i have a little pain on my left side?

: It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. Muscle issues can cause chest pain, if the issue is affecting the muscles around the chest. If you have any concerns, it would be prudent to see a doctor. Wish you good health!
