Hi thanks for asking question.
Noted you have stabbing chest pain with reffered pain in left arm ...
So I will advise to first do your ECG or echocardiography to rule out angina or ischemic heart disease like condition.If present treated accordingly.
So first rule out that cardiac problem.
If still cause not clear it could be musculoskeletal pain by overexercise or heavy weight lift or any unacvoustemed situation.simple analgesic effective for it with hot compress.
Wish you good health.
Take care.
