What Causes Pain In Upper Right Chest Area?

Possible compressive cervical disc disease?Needs Confirmation.
Detailed Answer:
Hi Sir.
I understand your query and concern.
As per your suggested history,the likely attribute to your symptoms is Cervical Disc disease.
This is causing you the pain along the arm,radiating into the axilla left upper neck and the scalp.
Cervical disc pain is also known to cause postural variations.
Disc diseases are to known to progress over a time period causing spinal cord and nerve root compression .
Hence it is very essential in your case to rule out the disc disease first and then proceed to other organ systems like heart which can present with similar symptoms.
I am keeping heart disease 2nd in the order of evaluation,considering the due fact given to the earlier normal imaging 2 years ago.Its also important to get the similar check up again afresh.
Hence to detect the disease,its very important that you get a Cervical spine MRI-high resolution,fast spin echo type to detect any changes of cord compression at the earliest .
Further management depends on the test results.Usually the management is surgical in presence of documented compressive disc disease.
Thank you.
