Left side of the upper torso has some organs that may be responsible for causing pain. These usually are the stomach or the diaphragm. If it is the stomach you would probably have other symptoms associated with the pain that you would recognize. If it is the diaphragm it may hurt more when you inhale or exhale deeply and would not matter if you are standing or sitting.
