For just over a year, i've been getting pain at random times in my left arm and armpit and left side of chest, it's like a dull or numbing pain?

It may: Be musculoskeletal or perhaps anxiety. At 16 it's unlikely to be the heart but if left sided chest pain, especially with exertion i recommend you get seen. Good luck.
