Hi,
Thankyou for your Question..
Brief..
It could be heart problem or arrythmia.
Detailed answer...
As chest pain which is radiating to shoulder arm and armpit is most likely because of heart problem. It could be either because of ischemia (low blood supply to heart) , coronary heart disease or because of side effect of some antiepileptic medicines.
Get an ECG and ECHO if heart done and discuss further with cardiologist promptly.
