What Causes Persistant Left-sided Chest Pain?

I had a dream that i had pain in my heart and that too twice. The pain was too strong in dream itself, it was more like stretch in muscles nd as if my heart were split into two pieces. When i woke i could still feel the lil pain on heart side. And one thing i forgot to tell that there has been a constant pain in my left arm from shoulder to Fingers for like 2-3 years and i always ignored that. Now i am feeling worried that it can be related to some heart problem. I can t stop thinking about that dream, what could it be? I still don t know if I felt the pain in real or it was just a bad dream.. btw i am 22 years old

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Considering your symptoms and your young age (22 years), possibility of panic attacks is more.
But better to rule out heart related pain first. So get done ecg and 2d echo. If they are normal then no need to worry for heart diseases.
Consult psychotherapist for bad dreams and panic attacks. You need counseling sessions.
Don't worry, you will be alright with all these.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
