What Causes Pressure In The Chest Extending Toward The Arm And Neck?

I m have pressure feeling on the left side of my chest and it goes down in to my left arm on the inside of my arm. Just a few minutes ago I ve got pressure at the base of my neck in the front and there are times when it feels like I have butter flies in my chest. No real sharp pains just a lot of pressure and very uncomfortable. What is this? Should I go to the hospital? Kellie
