hello and thank you for asking HCM,
I understand your concern. Regarding to your symptoms, it seems like your sister has heart problems. Every pain in left arm connected with high blood pressure must be properly checked to exclude heart infarction. My suggestion is to visit your GP once more or go to ER because the pain is still there, to make an ECG which will show if everything is ok with the heart of your sister.
Until than avoid any kind of physical exhaustion or stressful situations.
I hope you will listen to my advice and visit a doctor to make ECG.
