I've been experiencing some chest pain on the left side where my heart is, and sometimes it even happens on the right side. It doesn't stop there though; I've noticed random pains around my body, especially in my left arm and a bit in my left shoulder. I went to the doctor, and she told me my hearts fine and suggested it might be Acid Reflux. But I'm still worried because I've read that pain in the left arm and shoulder can signal a heart attack. Should I be concerned or look out for anything else?

It's not too bad, but it hasn't improved or gone away either. I'm getting a bit concerned. What could be causing this, and is it something I should worry about?
