Suggest Treatment For Upper Back Pain And Arm Pain

I have been experiencing mild to moderate upper back and arm pain (the arm pain when I move it certain ways and the back pain is just kind of there but is worse when I take a deep breath) the last couple of days. Have not worked out as I have had a cold. Feels like muscular but I m not sure. I also have a history of heart palpatations on and off. I have been experiencing these palpataions, (rapid and erratic) heart beat as well since last week almost constantly. Rapid heart beat seems to calm when I am sitting or lying down. Still able to do most of my usual activities. Not sure what could be going on. Was hoping You all might have an idea.
