Need more info: In general a person in their 30s with a negative stress test is at very low risk of coronary artery disease. Still no test is perfect and younger men can still get coronary disease, ( especially if another risk factor is present ( smoking, diabetes etc.) on the other hand there are many causes of arm and jaw pain. You should discuss the problem with your physician to get to the bottom of it.

Heart attack : Stress tests needs to be repeated. Coronary angiography can rule out coronary disease if pain is persistent in left arm and jaw.
