Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome to Health Care Magic, Thanks for writing to us,
I am Dr.Muhammad Ahmad, I have read your question, I understand your concern and will try to help you in the best possible way.
You sysmptoms are not typical for a heart issue still i will tell you know how heart pains feel like then i guess you will have a better idea what is there in you and what is not.
Cardiac pains:
1- They are NEVER sharp excruciating pains,they are dull pains like soar muscles or a compression.
2- They start with work out and go away as you are at rest.
3- When its paining they in most case get relieved by a nitroglycerin tab under tongue.
4- Regular "work out cardiac pains" (angina) usually show up in stress testing.
5- They are very rarely present in men below 40.
6- They never Get worsened by food intake, they stay the same.
7- They don't change in intensity with breathing. Or changing body position.
8- They can not be pinpointed usually they are spread over an urea of chest.
9- Usually less than 30 mins in duration.
You pain can be muscular or it can be cardiac , just see what among above mentioned points fits in your pain and what doesn't?
Here i will also mention that there are large arteries in arm and groin if you are feeling pulsations it can be psychological or it can be due to some atherosc;erosis or arterial disease problem.
How has your cholesterole and BP been?
What is your height and weight?
Have you got cardiac checkup lately?
....
