I found this to be exactly what I wanted to say:

"The gas that is generated in the stomach and the intestine, moves upward and presses against the wall of the chest. This leads to difficulty in breathing and tightening of chest wall, which eventually results in the pain in chest. If the symptoms of heart attack such as palpitations, rapid heart rate, sweating, pale skin are not experienced with a left chest pain, it is often an indication that the person is suffering from acidity or gas or heartburn.
Left side chest pain, often generates the ripples of panic in the individual and his relatives. However, you should remember that chest pain is not always an indication of a heart attack. Nonetheless, it should never be ignored, particularly if you are within the risk group of heart attack."

Hope this helps, Ally
