hi...you have not mentioned your age and sex....if u r in 20's then no need to worry. if u r above 30 then going with description of pain it appears that its not related to heart attack, but chest pain of heart attack may not always referred down the arm...If its associated with sweating, shortness of breath, upper body discomfort then u shld b worried. it may be a simple musculo skeletal pain which can b treated with simple analgesics and rest. If u have some risk factors like high BP, Diabetes then better get yourself evaluated for heart problems..All d best
