Radiculopathy: From neurological point of view, you may have c7-t1 radiculpathy sxs -means pinched nerve in neck. Other d/d could carpoal tunnel syndrome(pinched nerve in hand). Cardiology point if view, you should see cardiologist to rule out heart attack.

Needs evaluation: This can certainly be caused from a pinched nerve however given the symptoms of left sided arm and chest pain i would recommend a cardiac evaluation to make sure there isn't anything more serious or life threatening occurring. If cardiac issues are ruled out then an evaluation by a hand surgeon or neurologist would be a good start.
