Hi Dear ,

Welcome to HCM ,

Understanding your concern .As per your query you have cpain under left chest and arm. Well the symptoms you mention in query can occur due to may reasons like acid reflux disease , athma , heart related problem like angina , muscle spasm of chest or cervical spondolysis .But in your case it seems to me that the pain is probably occurring due to angina . I would suggest you to consult cardiologist for prorper examination . Doctor may order ceratin tests like TMT , ECG , complete blood profile and sometimes angiography . Doctor may prescribe nitroglycerine , beta blockers and aspirin . Doctor may also refer you to specialist like orthopedic surgeon for muscle and bone problem and gastroenterologist for acid reflux. For now apply warm compresses , stay calm and do not exert your body .

Hope your concern has been resolved.
