Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Left sided chest pain with left arm numbness are commonly seen with heart diseases.
So better to get done ecg, 2d echo and stress test (trade mill test).
If all these are normal then no need to worry for heart diseases.
Sometimes undiagnosed stress and anxiety can also cause similar symptoms.
So avoid stress and tension, be relax and calm.
Don't worry, you will be alright.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
