Dear as you have mentioned you have mild pain over left chest with pain left arm it is suggestive of pain of cardiac origin that we call as angina. Typically angina is described as diffuse chest discomfort so it is not localized and is most time discomfort not pain.that radiate to left or right upper limb that is simultaneously you can feel this discomfort or uneasiness in your arms as well.it increases with exertion and relieved on taking rest. The risk factors for this pain are male sex age more than 40 years but nowadays common in younger population as well smoker obesity lack of exercise diabetes hypertension family history etc. Your ECG echocardiography may all come to normal.it's a clinical diagnosis that is diagnosed on the basis of symptoms only. If confusion you are a candidate for TMT. So hope you have understood about this. What now you have to do is this.you have to consult your physician discuss about your pain he will look for other risk factors and give you final advice. Hope this will help.
