General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,

Having pain in arms & neck, heaviness or discomfort in the chest could be due to:
- Heart attack & Other heart problems like angina
- Panic attacks
- Heartburn or esophagus disorders
- Sore muscles
- Lung diseases - pneumonia, pleurisy, or pulmonary embolism
- Costochondritis - an inflammation of joints in your chest

I advise you to go to ER, to do ECG and 2D Echo.
If they are normal then get a TMT / stress echo done (all these are in case if you've very much discomfort in chest)
If they are also normal then it's not cardiac issues, then take
- Tab. Flexon Mr or acenac Mr twice / day for 5 days
- Cap. Panto-D 40 mg before food twice / day for 5 days

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Yogapriya Vasudevan, General & Family Physician
