Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your situation and problem.
Recurrent chest pain with radiation in arms is seen commonly with heart diseases.
You are also taking alcohol, so possibility of heart related pain is more in your case.
So better to quit alcohol as soon as possible.
Get done ecg, 2d echo, stress test (trade mill test) and coronary Angiography if required.
You may need cardiac supportive drugs.
Don't worry, you will be alright, but quit alcohol and rule out heart diseases.
Hope I have solved your query.
I will be happy to help you further.
Wish you good health. Thanks.
I find this answer helpful
