I'm really concerned about some pain I've been experiencing. It started about four months ago with chest pain and pain in my left arm. I went to a doctor who said it might be gastric issues, but I was worried so I saw a cardiologist. They did a chest X-ray, a TMT, and an echo 2D, and everything came back negative. My relative, who's a doctor, suggested it might be muscle pain or cervical spondylosis, but I still have this persistent pain in my left arm along with a burning sensation. I've read about anxiety causing these kinds of symptoms, but the pain is also in my neck, jaw, left arm, shoulder, and chest. I'm really hoping for some clarification on what might be going on. What could be causing these symptoms, and what should I do next?
