hi,
there are many causes of chest pain and arm pain. most important, there having been a family history of heart disease is cardiac disease. it is suggested to get a routine general examination and testing for BP, Hb, sugars, cholesterol, ECG and an X ray of neck.
As you pointed, stree itself can increase pains all over the body, and if all these reports turn normal, you might be benefited by a psychiatrist consultation. Mean while you may try meditation and breathing exercises.
Keep in mind that stress is the most dangerous one of all diseases.
hope i am clear.
