Hai,ur pain can be dueto gastritis, pain of cervical spondylitis radiating to the arm and chest due to some common nerve supply, or cardiac problems, pleuritic pain .most pricking pains are due to gastritis, u can start with antacids and pantoprazole as a course. Pls go ahead with upper gastrointestinal endoscopy, ecg, chestxray,mri neck to rule out any compression. U can meet a physician andrule out the possible cases . Good luck.
