May be costochondritis and heartburn.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I read your query and here is my advice.
I believe you are having both hyperacidity and rib issues.
1.The pain that comes with a clicking sound while lifting your arm and radiates to upper shoulder and back may be related to ribcage pain possibly costochondritis. It may sometimes feel like heart attack pain.
You can use anti-inflammatory drugs such ibuprofen to reduce pain and inflammation.
Using these anti-inflammatory drugs may have contributed to stomach pain and hyperacidity.
2. Hyperacidity may cause heartburn which is a pain in the middle of the chest.
In this case you may need to take antiacids and Omeprazole to reduce pain.
It is obvious that these two cause stress and anxiety to you.
Hope I have answered the question.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear and thank you for asking again.
As I explained costochondritis can be a reason for chest pain very similar to heart attack.
The pain may start last for a week and may be repeated for months or up to a year.
If you have done an ECG, heart ultrasound and heart stress test including the blood tests at the moment of pain then there is no heart issues.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear and thank you for asking again.
Despite your family history of heart issues your heart tests actually were normal.
I believe you also had stress and anxiety during this pain which made you have rapid heart rate.
I think you may need to visit a rheumatologist for this pain.
