How long have you been dealing with this? I mean, I get these strange, nagging pains in my hands from time to time, and that chest discomfort—it doesn't usually stick around for very long, if it hits at all... do you find yourself experiencing the same thing?

You don't just walk up to a doctor and say, "Oh, it's nothing," when you've been hurting like that for hours on end. Seriously, don't play games when it comes to stuff like this.
The thing is, it really only flares up when I get worked up or stressed out...
I actually went in for an EKG and all those other tests, and everyone tells me everything looks perfectly fine. I even went through my military processing about six months ago, and they cleared me without any issues—at least according to their standards.
I just wanted to start by sending my best regards to everyone here..
So, here’s the situation: for about the last two years now, I've been dealing with these recurring chest pains. Things actually hit a breaking point about a year ago, and while the chest discomfort has settled down quite a bit lately, I'm still struggling with pain in my arms and occasionally even my legs. It usually starts with this strange sensation in my arm first, and then the chest pain follows. When my arm acts up, it’s more of a dull, heavy ache, and it seems to be incredibly consistent—it mostly hits around 2:00 PM every single day. I usually just grab some Advil to take the edge off, which helps enough to get me through. To give you a little context on myself, I'm 18 years old, generally in pretty good shape, though I do smoke somewhere between five to ten cigarettes a day.
If anyone has any insight into what might be going on, or if you have a hunch about what this could be, please let me know. Even though the heart-related chest stuff feels much better than it did previously, the constant aching in my arm is honestly driving me a bit crazy...
P.S. I also tend to be a pretty high-strung person, and I've noticed that whenever I get worked up or angry, the pain tends to flare right up again.
Anyway, thanks so much for your help!
