Hello,

The following might be few causes of your throbbing chest pain along with left arm pain:
1) Acute angina
2) Acute myocardial infarction
3) Coronary heart disease
4) Severe pneumonia
5) Dissecting aortic aneurysm

To those who come to my clinic with similar complaints, I recommend an ECG, 2D echocardiography, chest X-ray, complete blood picture and hemoglobin percentage. Sometimes peptic ulcer can mimic like a heart attack. So try using tab. Pantop before food. If the pain persists, it's mostly of cardiac or heart case. Please do consult a cardiologist as soon as possible.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Pallavi M., Anesthesiologist
