odd "ache" question

On my left side at very top left of my chest about 3 inches from where my arm starts I have been having this ache and comes and goes. It is about the size of a penny. I am not getting any shortness of breath, or nausea. I am just worried about it. I worry a lot. With what I have provded, could this be something with my heart?

Thank You

It is generally a severe aching that runs down the left arm. There are other areas too that can be affected. The pain usually comes on with excersize and stops when the person rests.

it is just so hard to know what to worry about, and not to worry about. A follow up question if you do not mind. What does cardiac arm pain feel like?

From what you wrote it doesn't sound heart related at all.
