Hi lately I've been having quite a lot of chest pains after while this fades but on some occasions it is followed by my throat feeling like its closing up and its hard to swallow. I also have a lot of throbbing in my arms its a dull pain but on occasions it turns into shooting pains that make my hands go numb the leave a tingling sensation in my fingers. Any idea what these could be?
