Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
In my opinion, we should first rule out heart diseases in your case. Left sided heavy chest pain with arm heaviness and sweating are commonly seen in heart diseases.
So get done ecg and 2d echo.
If both of these are normal then no need to worry for heart diseases.
Sometimes stress and anxiety can also cause similar symptoms. So avoid stress and tension, be relax and calm.
Drink plenty of fluids orally and keep yourself hydrated.
Don't worry, you will be alright. But better to first rule out heart diseases.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
