Chest Pain And Pain In Arm?

396545385 I have been experiencing some chest pain on my left side just under my collar bone towards my arm pit. I also keep getting the odd pain in the top of my left arm. Last week i was diagnosed with high blood pressure and i am overweight so i'm worried there is something wrong with my heart. I'm not sure if it's just me getting anxious or if there is a serious problem, my pulse feels okay when i feel my wrist and when i press on the area the pain is then it usually stops. I also only seem to get the pain lying down or resting. There is a history of heart attacks in my family but i'm only 21. I don't want to call an ambulance and the doctor isn't open until monday.

Do not drive yourself. Call 911 for emergency transport.
