Arm and hand pains.

I have anxiety, but lately I've also been having arm pains, hand and finger pains.
It looks like the pains are in my veins as well.
I'm constantly scared that this could result in a heart attack.
What do you think?

There is no way to answer this because you have to be examined if you think it is serious. Your description sounds more like an extension of your anxiety into your body.
