Arm tingling and chest pain

I'm a 24 year old male and about a year ago just as I was going to bed I had a tingling sensation in my lower left arm, and I started to panic, almost hyperventilating. I went to the doctors the next day and had my heart listened to and my blood pressure taken, they could find nothing, about 6 months ago I had palpitations so I went to the doctor who listened to my heart/lungs and took my blood pressure and told me I had a condition called ventricular ectopics which he said was normal and that quite a number of the population had it, throughout the year I have been having a tingling sensation in my lower left arm which comes and goes...if i feel anxious it's there, also for about 6 years I have had some chest pain throughout both my left and right side, sometimes when I move sometimes when I am resting (especially after vigourous cardio vascular exercise) I still get some chest pain, the doctor can't find anything wrong. Do you have a suggestion as to why I am having these pains and the tingling (I also have had some shoulder pain which manifests itself if I do shoulder rolls during my exercise routine) My father has a recent medical and he is okay. I am slightly overweight, am i right to worry or can my pains simply be caused by anxiety attacks?
