Can upper back problems cause refered pain to shoulders, ribs and arms with pins and needles and slight heaviness in chest?

yes: Many musculoskeletal problems can mimic and refer to pain and neurological symptoms in many close and remote parts of the body. A good history and exam by a trained physician specializing in musculoskeletal medicine will be a best first step.
