Trepopnea /tɹɛpəʊpˈniːə/ is dyspnea (shortness of breath) that is sensed while lying on one side but not on the other [1] (lateral recumbent position). It results from disease of one lung, one major bronchus, or chronic congestive heart failure that affects only a side of breathing.
Non-cardiac reasons for chest pain on the left side. The skin, nerves, muscles, bones, tendons, soft tissue, and cartilage all share real estate on the left side.
Early symptoms of hypovolemia include headache, fatigue, weakness, thirst, and dizziness. The more severe signs and symptoms are often associated with hypovolemic shock. These include oliguria, cyanosis, abdominal and chest pain, hypotension, tachycardia, cold hands and feet, and progressively altering mental status. [citation needed]
Dizziness is a common medical complaint, affecting 20–30% of persons. [4] Dizziness is broken down into four main subtypes: vertigo (~25–50%), disequilibrium (less than ~15%), presyncope (less than ~15%), and nonspecific dizziness (~10%).

Even though it's possible that heart attack pain can show up on the right side of the chest, if it's only on the right and is very distinct in its location, it's unlikely to be from a heart attack ...
[5] Respiratory muscles and vagal afferent neural pathways relay information from the chest wall/airways to the central nervous system, facilitating the presentation of dyspnea. [ 4 ] In people with underlying congestive heart failure , this redistribution may overload the pulmonary circulation, causing increased pulmonary congestion .
