hi,
i suggest you dont take it lightly and call your cardiologist immediately as any pain in the chest/ left arm is an indication of a heart attack until proven otherwise.
and that is a medical emergency and should not be ignored.
more so in your case as you already are a known cardiac patient.
please hurry.
regards
