Hello,
I have gone through your query and understand your concern.
No. It does not have any relation with Heart.
But if it occur regularly and disturbing, then you should consult a neurologist and ophthalmologist.
Eye twitching may be present in inflammation of the eyelids and facial nerve palsy.
How ever, most of the times this eye twitching is due to fatigue and stress.

Pain in the left arm may be due to muscle strain.
As you said you are over weight and always stressed in life, better adopt some life style changes.
1. Exercise regularly.
2. Eat plenty of green vegetables and fruits.
3. Spend enough time with friends and family members.
4. Participate in games and sports
5. Try relaxation techniques like yoga and meditation.

These will help in relieve your stress and decrease your weight.

Hope this helps.
Please write back for further queries.
Wishing you good health.
