hi,i suggest you dont take it lightly and call your cardiologist immediately as any pain in the chest/ left arm is an indication of a heart attack until proven otherwise.and that is a medical emergency and should not be ignored.more so in your case as you already are a known cardiac patient.please hurry.regards
