What Is The Cause Of Chest Pain?

For the past few months I have had on and off central chest pains and tightness which alters in how bad it is but a heaviness is always there. The past couple of days I have been experiencing pins and needles and shooting pains down my right arm from the shoulder to my finger tips at the same time as my chest pains getting worse. The chest pains are also becoming more frequent. Should I be concerned and are both connected?

Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your situation and problem.
In my opinion, we should rule out cardiac cause first for your chest pain.
So get done ecg and 2d echo. If both are normal then no need to worry for cardiac disease.
Also get done chest x ray to rule out lung related causes.
If all are normal than possibility of stress and anxiety related symptoms is more.
So consult psychiatrist and get done counseling sessions.
Try to identify stressor in your life and start working on its solution.
You may need anxiolytic drugs too.
So avoid stress and tension, be relax and calm.
Don't worry, you will be alright.
Hope I have solved your query.
Wish you good health. Thanks.
