HI..
welcome to HCM
Chest pain radiating to arm with shortness of breath requires serious evaluation of cardiac status. I WOULD RECOMMEND YOU,
1.Get a TMT done, if it is positive get angiogram dome.
2.when ever you have symptoms rush to ER to get an ECG, ECHO and TROPONIN T done.
3.IF all these tests are negative, no need to worry.
4.If any of the tests are positive meet an cardiologist.
