Chest pain for months - 25 years-old female

Hey everybody,

I have had chest problems for 3 months that are ruining my life.

So to explain a bit the context, I had Covid end of November. From December to February I was fine, and then suddenly I woke up beginning of March with the left side of my neck in pain and then a week later the left side of my chest on my heart-level was hurting too. Since then the pain never went away and everyday feels worse. I feel like somebody crushed my chest and sat on it and sometimes it feels like it's burning inside too. But the biggest feeling is feeling compressed. I can't take deep breath, I can't exercice, I can't even drive anymore because it is too painful. And since a week now, I can't even sleep because when I lay down the pain is worse. I saw many doctors and did several scanners and a blood test. On one scanner, they saw that I have an injured rib but they say that it is really slight and the intensity of the pain is strange considering the unseriousness of the injury. I took anti-inflammatory and many painkillers and the pain is still there.

If someone could help, it would mean so much to me. I have been feeling miserable for the past 3 months.
