Hi both smoking and morbid obesity are individual risk factor for cardiac disease. togetherthe effects are more catastrophic I would advice you to go for a 2d echo and tread mill test to rule out the functions of heart or any cardiac ischemia.pain in the left arm can be cardiac in origin and the possibility has to be ruled out as soon as possible.
its very unlikely that pain is arm is attributed to low blood pressure.
