Don't know if this is applicable or not. Several years ago during my "truck driving career" my wife sent me to the doctor because I admitted to her that I had had an episode of bad chest pain and short of breath. During my conversation with the doctor I mentioned that sometimes the "bottom side" of my left arm (along my forearm) would feel numb and my pinkie and ring fingers would get numb and "tingly." When I got really tired it also felt like someone was sticking a hot knife in under my left shoulder blade. Doc said, "You have a pinched nerve somewhere in your neck or upper back. It's not related to your chest pain."

So I guess you could say that I'm in the pinched nerve camp. That advise is worth exactly what you paid for it.

Oh, and after hooking me up to all kinds of monitors and machines and making me walk uphill on the treadmill for about 50 miles and putting me into a tube for about 2 or 3 hours the Doc finally said, "You weren't having a heart attack. Your heart is perfectly healthy. You had a bad case of indigestion."
