Chest pain, lung pain & arm pain?

I'm not sure if I'm just paranoid and puttin all these symptoms together creating some big problem in my head or not but I'm a 21 y/o female, about a month or two ago I was sick for about two weeks and had a terrible cough. At the end of that sickness I had a sharp pain in the left side of my chest (lung probably) when I took deep breaths and although I've had that pain before for a few seconds this time it lasted about 10 full minutes. That same night I had a type of soreness in my jaw... the next day both were gone. Within the past month I've had chest pains not excurusiating but noticeable and uncomfortable that have lasted probably 5 minutes. One day a few days ago I noticed I had this pressure or tight feeling in my right side of my chest when I took breaths that wouldn't go away. It was still there the next day and I went to the doctor who gave me the asthma machine (not sure of the term) which didn't fix my problem but gave me an inhaler and prentisone and sure enough the issue went away on day 2. I never had and am pretty sure I don't have asthma by the way. Now after two days of feeling okay, I was laying down and started having a pressure/ pain feeling in my chest on the left side, after me relaxing trying to let it pass for 10 minutes, my left forearm started feeling a little pain or numbness. An hour and thirty minutes lasted the feeling is still here in my forearm wrist and hand and I can't make a fist... any ideas?
