Hello
I had gone through your question very diligently and I appreciate your concern
Left arm pain radiating to upper chest is a matter of concern, which might be related to heart or chest wall disease

Since you are already leading a healthy life style, still possibility of heart disease can't be ruled out.

In my opinion you should immediately visit a nearest emergency room for recording of blood pressure, an ECG and an echocaediography if need be.

You should take deep breaths and don't exert at all
Please.don't hesitate to ask for follow up or further clarification
Best wishes
