There is: absolutely NO reason to think its "your heart" You carried bundles and hurt afterwards....the answer is clear..you strained some of your rib muscles or cartilages resulting in chest discomfort! Apply ICE then HEAT whatever helps more CONTINUE! Hope this helps Dr Z

Hard to tell.: From this brief description it is difficult to tell the cause. However, because the heart is one possibility, you should be seen in the emergency room right away. Once that is ruled out, then the other potential possibilities could be evaluated. Go now. Do not delay.

Can left arm, neck, shoulder, chest pain be a sign of a heart problem? If so, then if the pain goes on its own could it still be a heart problem?

I have been feeling this quivering in my chest and legs. Not pain and not constant. Just like an internal shiver. Also my upper arm muscles on my right arm hurt. Could this be a heart problem?
