I'm really confused and a bit anxious about this chest tightness that happens whenever I lie down flat or stretch my left hand. It's been going on for about three months. I went to an orthopedic doctor who said it's probably due to poor posture and muscle spasm. Then I saw a cardiologist, had all the tests like ECG, echocardiogram, TMT, and even checked my cholesterol and BP. Everything was normal except for my cholesterol which was a bit high at 196, and LDL at 121.8. The cardiologist said I don't have heart issues and just need to change my lifestyle and lose some weight. But I wanted a second opinion, so I visited another cardiologist and even without any new tests, he said the same thing that everything's normal. Still, I feel this tightness at night and sometimes it makes me sweat and I get really scared thinking it might be a heart attack. When I went back to the cardiologist, he reassured me again. So, should I keep doing ECGs every time I feel this tightness or maybe see a pulmonologist? Why does this keep happening if everything's supposed to be normal?

I'm curious about something. Can heart attacks cause just pain in the left arm with no chest pain at all? I've been feeling a bit of pain in my left arm, like above the elbow and sometimes near the shoulder. Should I be worried? Can heart issues manifest as only arm pain and not have any chest pain involved?

I sometimes get this pinching sensation in my chest and it's not on one particular side. I'm 28, keep myself pretty fit, and play football regularly. Should I be worried about this, or could it just be something else?
