I've been experiencing this persistent pain on the edge and upper part of my left chest for more than a year now. Sometimes it feels like a burning sensation and other times it's more like a squeezing feeling from inside. I'm getting pretty worried about what might be going on. Which type of doctor should I reach out to for this issue?

I'm feeling kind of worried. I don't have any intense pain in my chest or heart, but it feels like something weird is going on with my heart. Whenever this happens, I end up drinking a lot of water until I fall asleep. What's also freaking me out is there's swelling under my left collarbone. This whole thing makes me feel weaker and more scared. What's going on?
