I am a 23 year old male Over the past 3 weeks, I have been experiencing severe pain on the left side of my chest. I have not injured myself in any way that I am aware of. I had gone to a walk in clinic about the pain, and the doctor sent me straight to ER. From there, I had an ultrasound, EKG, multiple blood tests and a chest x-ray taken. I was told that I am physically healthy. The cause for the pain is unknown. I was put on an Aspirin therapy.
About two days after I had gone to the ER, I've started to develop headaches and severe, stabbing pain behind my left eye. Sometimes, I can't see out of my left eye for several minutes. This worries me, as the chest pain is also still there nearly 3 weeks after I had been examined.
Some of the symptoms I'm experiencing include:
Severe chest pain which is worsened when breathing, shortness of breath, weakness, tachycardia, difficulty breathing, headaches (Mostly on the left side), pain along the left shoulder/neck, pain behind left eye, lethargy, anxiety, and within the past week I have developed a minor cough.
All of my tests came back clear. My heart and lungs looked fine. I'm at a loss.

What you describe is absolutely heart related. Symptoms are sometimes not apparent - like the dentist and a sore tooth. There is obviously a problem. Be a SQUEAKY WHEEL!!!
Be well - keep me posted!!

Yes you should see a cardiologist and honestly the ER should've recommended a follow up with a cardiologist or your family doctor. I have a couple of questions, do you drink alot of caffeine? Are you on any medications that could possibly interfere with each other or that have a risk if causing chest pain? Do you have a history of asthma? Are you under any stress other than being worried about the chest pain?
The fact that you were put on aspirin therapy points to a cardiac problem. Please see a cardiologist. The tests you had in the ER are inconclusive and the cardiologist can do nuclear tests and stress tests, and a cardiac catherization (angiogram).
