What Is The Treatment For Heaviness In The Chest And Shortness Of Breath?

Hi im a 15 year old boy , i dont think im having a heart attack but could use some piece of mind, i dont feel heaviness on my chestor shortness of breathing but i do feel slight aching pain in my arms although this is probably from biking i have done the past two days, would i feel shooting pains if i was having a heart attack, and would it be down all my arm of could it be in just parts of my arm?

Pain due to heart problem will be heaviness and it increases on walking or running whereas muscular pain tends to increase with exertion of that particular area.
So I don't think so it's heart related.
