Yes, go to ER. You have a known history of heart disease and any symptoms that might be related to the heart need to be investigated immediately. You might have something entirely unrelated, such as a bone or muscle inflammation, but the heart needs to be checked first. Sometimes stents can block up and that could cause pain in your left arm. You don't necessarily get chest pain at the same time. Women also often experience atypical symptoms with a heart attack or angina. So get it checked at ER now. Hope this helps.
