Chest pain
I took my vaccination 1st dose (covishield) on 13th of last month. Had fever and body pains which were gone in 2 days but on day 3 , sharp chest pain started on lower left side..so, went to cardiologist..had ECG and 2 D echo and said no problem in them, might be just muscle pain or acid reflux..gave prantoprazole and paracetamol+chlorzoxazone...Everything seemed fine after using them... Then again yesterday (after 2 weeks) the chest pain returned and lasted for an hour (i took prantoprazole) and reduced...but after an hour or so, my left arm started aching...now i don't have pain in chest but the aching on left arm wont go away...what is happening with me.. please help...is it due to vaccine reaction or just acid reflux or any other serious thing like myocarditis or pericarditis (googled some stuff)

Hi. Since it's almost 3 weeks after you took the vaccine unlikely the vaccine is causing the symptoms. You have done a basic cardiac check up and your symptoms have always relieved with antacid. So could be acid reflux. Pericarditis and myocarditis have other clues in the ECG and clinical examination plus echo
Left arm pain won't be due to acid reflux but may be due to any vitamin deficiencies or bone/nerve related
Next Steps
You can get your vitamin D, vitamin B12 checked
Health Tips
If the pain is at the site of injection or you have difficulty in moving the arm or any other restricted movement get yourself clinically checked by a neurologist or Orthopaedic surgeon
