Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Since your chest pain is associated with movements of arm, possibility of musculoskeletal pain is more. You have also started exercising (gym) recently. This also favors musculoskeletal pain more. But you are a active smoker. So get done ECG and 2d echo to rule out heart diseases for your chest pain. If all these are normal then no need to worry about heart diseases. You should quit smoking as soon as possible as it is not a good habit. Apply warm water pad on affected areas. Avoid movements causing pain. Take painkiller and muscle relaxant Chat Doctor.  Don't worry, you will be alright with all these but quit smoking immediately. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
