Hello
After going through the medical information provided by you, I can understand your concern and I would like to tell you that pain originating from cardiac prospective are generally deep seated and associated with heaviness in your left arm along with sweating or perspiration. However, pain due to costochondritis are more of superficial type And gets exaggerated on pressing over the affected joints in the rib cage.
You can get and ecg and echocardiogram done to rule out any underlying cardiac issues.
