It sounds like (not IS, but COULD BE) some form of thoracic outlet syndrome. This is not something that can be addressed on line. You need to discuss this with your doctor and either (s)he can work it up or refer you to a specialty clinic. https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/conditions-and-diseases/thoracic-outlet-syndrome

Chest pain, arm numbness, doctor did a physical and took BP and pulse. He said it's most likely a nerve pinch because my heart sounds well...
