In young people could chest and arm pain be related to a heart problem or could it be just musculoskeletal? i'm suffering from it in combination with a cold.

Some possibilities: An older teen with new chest pain and arm pain should to go her doctor or the ER to be examined. That means not waiting at home to see if it turns into a bad problem. Lung problems include pleurisy or pneumothorax. Esophageal problems include reflux and esophagitis. Heart problems include rhythm problems, pericarditis, or myocarditis. Heart attacks are rare at that age.
