What Causes Constant Chest Pain And Pain Down Left Arm?

Question: I have been experiencing constant chest pain and pain down left arm for the past five days. I also hurt everywhere with flu like symptoms. I had a chest x-Ray and EKG yesterday and both were fine. All of my vitals are aIso good. I was told by my doctor to call him in four days to let him know how I'm doing. I'm really worried. This pain is not occasional, it is constant and my breathing is labored. Should I be concerned?
Brief Answer:

Hi back,
My opinion is that your symptoms are related to shingles viral break out, even if you don't see for the moments any cutan rush.
