I had a similar problem on stims a couple of years ago. It was on Ritalin and I had similar problems with chest pain and sensations in my left arm. I went to the doctor at least 3 times I think over a 4-6 month period and had all my vitals checked out and even had an ekg once. The doctor's verdict was the same every time:"There is nothing wrong with you physically. Everything is normal. You are having panic attacks and obsessive thoughts about having heart problems. The increased anxiety is likely being caused by the stim."
Since switching to Adderall, I do not have the same anxiety and do not have the same chest pain.
That being said, I would DEFINITELY go get it checked out. Better to be on the safe side.
