Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The chest pain that you had can be a muscular pain caused by electrolyte imbalance due to illness. The numbness in the arms is also likely to be due to fluid and electrolyte imbalance or vitamin B12 deficiency.
You can increase your electrolyte rich fluid intake like fresh fruit juices and garotade, do a hot compress and steam inhalation. These measures should help you improve. In case the symptoms are persistent then do consult your physician for a detailed examination.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
