What causes neck pain that is radiating into arm and chest?
7 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
Couple of things: Anything from a slipped disc to arthritis to thoracic outlet syndrome (a compression of nerves from bone, muscles or even veins/arteries) can cause this. I would start with your primary physician.

Several possible : Reasons including neck problems like a disc herniation leading to a pinched nerve, a shoulder problem, certain tumors of the upper lung known as pancoast tumors, heart related issues such as angina to name a few. Because this may be related to a heart problem , see your doctor.
