Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
First of all no need to worry for major heart or lung related diseases as your all reports are normal.
Sometimes simple musculoskeletal pain can also cause similar symptoms.
So apply warm water pad on affected areas of chest and arm.
Avoid heavyweight lifting and strenuous exercise. Avoid movements causing pain.
Take simple painkiller like paracetamol or ibuprofen.
Don't worry, you will be alright with all these.
Avoid stress and tension, be relax and calm.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
