Grandma on mom side had heart attack 5 months ago. Chest discomfort is random and is only for short period. Can go days with zero pain. And a day where have discomfort every once a while.
Brief Answer:
heart ultrasound required
Detailed Answer:
Hi and welcome.
These symptoms are not very specific and considering your age, I dont think that some ischemic heart issues can be present, but some types of arrithmias may anifest on this way so ultrasound of heart would be recommendable.
However, in young people it is often related to anxiety or there may be some non-thoracic issues such as hiatal hernia, cervical spine disorders or circulation disorders in affected arm. If heart results are fine, you should focus on treating anxiety, have healthy diet, and reduce weight if overweight. Wish you good health. REgards
