Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Pressure in the chest and arms on exertion may be due to cardiac failure or bronchial asthma or acid reflux etc. In pericardial effusion feel pressure on forward bending.

Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
