Hi Kidlectric: Many factors go into causing pain in the arms. Anything that produces pain in the chest can be the cause: The muscles, the lungs, the ribs, or the heart.
So arm pain should not be ignored. It could be a local problem in the muscle or something else.
Best to see your doctor and be examined.
take care,
