Brief Answer:
Get done ecg, blood pressure monitoring and 2d echo.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
You are having dyspnea with difficulty in arm.
So better to first rule out cardiac diseases.
So get done
1. Blood pressure monitoring.
2. Ecg
3. 2 d echo.
If all these are normal than we should rule out Pulmonary causes like bronchitis.
So get done PFT (Pulmonary Function Test).
So visit cardiologist and pulmonologist and discuss all these.
Hope I have solved your query.
I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
