See physician: Diagnosing of these type symptoms can be a pinched nerve or acute cardiac or serious lung issue. This requires prompt medical attention evaluation by a physician

Confirm diagnosis: You could possess carpal tunnel syndrome, a brachial plexopathy, a cervical radiculopathy, or more severe problems involving lung and/ or heart. It is not feasible, based upon sketchy information to be more precise, but have your local doctor handle this ASAP.
