What Causes Tingling Sensation In The Chest, Back And Arms?

I ve recently had some cardiac probs. I m a smoker, and lately my lungs have felt tight. I started taking Mucinex and it helps a little, but I sometimes feel strong electric shocks shooting across my chest, back, and down my arms when I cough. Should I be concerned enough to go to ER? I m a veteran & take care of my mother and I m having a difficult time making it to the VA.
