What Causes Chest Pain And Arm Pain During Exercise?
I experience pain in my chest and left arm when exercising. I have had both a stress test and echocardiogram this week. Those tests were normal. What is the next step to finding a reason for my pain. It is limiting my ability to exercise now. Ive had some issues in the past, but now it happens every time I try to work out.

If pain had not recurred during stress test which has been reported to be normal, it's less likely to be related to heart. If pain is persisting better to rule out radiculopathy ( nerve root compression ) or muscular origin taking appropriate consultation and evaluation. However it's advisable to get cardiac profile done to address any risk factors for primary prevention.
