Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Chest pain and arm discomfort along with family history, is a real bad thing. Get stressechocardiography and angiography done at the earliest. Don't delay. Till these tests, keep your blood pressure, sugar and lipid profiles under control.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
