What Causes Soreness In Chest And Head With Left Arm Pain?

I had a spell Tuesday morning and I ended up in the ER I was on my way to work and I started feeling light headed and some discomfort in my left arm by the time I got into town I was panicking and breathing hard from being scared and my whole body felt like I didn t have control over it like it was shutting down I had to call the rescue squad! They checked my heart at the hospital and my blood work and said I was fine that it had to be a panic attack! I came home and ever since that day my left arm has been achy and I feel a little soreness in my chest and my head and I just need to know what you think?

Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your situation and problem.
By your history and description, possibility of stress, anxiety and panic disorder is more.
Since your cardiac work up is normal, no need to worry for major heart diseases.
Your all symptoms are mostly due to stress and anxiety.
So better to consult psychiatrist and get done counseling sessions.
Try to identify stressor in your life and start working on its solution.
You may need anxiolytic drugs too.
So avoid stress and tension, be relax and calm.
Don't worry, you will be alright.
