Hi thanks for asking question. Noted you have stabbing chest pain with referred pain in left arm ... So I will advise to first do your ECG or echocardiography to rule out angina or ischemic heart disease like condition. If present treated accordingly. So first rule out that cardiac problem. If still cause not clear it could be musculoskeletal pain by overexercise or heavyweight lift or any unaccustomed situation. Simple analgesic effective for it with hot compress. Wish you good health.
