I went to ER because of chest tightness. They did two EKGs, chest x-ray, blood tests, bp, heart rate, etc. All fine. Can severe anxiety cause that?

Why do I get random left arm pain? Is it a heart thing, a posture thing, or a sleeping thing? Ive gotten my heart checked out 6 times in the er. They did ekg, blood test, and chest X-ray. All of it came back good, Im only 23?
