Hello,
History of 2 months of anterior chest and arm pain is most unlikely to be from cardiac causes.
ECG shows the electrical abnormality of the heart. If you're still doubtful than go for an Echocardiogram.
This pain is mainly to do with musculoskeletal system.
Take an X ray of your shoulder and consult and orthopedician.
