What could be up with me?

Hello I am a 19 year old male around 5'5" and 160-170 pounds. Since Monday I have been having arm pains sometimes burning sensations (somewhat feels like the skin is burning) and sometimes it feels like it is inside the arm. Also pain on the left breast, sometimes closer to the lower right of the left breast. I have periods of tiredness, headaches (not too frequent). I woke up with my heart racing for the past three days. Today I woke up with my heart racing, masturbated, and then I got up and started coughing and almost felt like I would vomit. Now I feel tired.

It seems to follow a pattern of burning sensations, heart racing, and then tiredness. Also right now my left arm is not necessarily burning or hurting right now but I can feel this along the elbow.

The first time symptoms similar to this occurred was when I was smoking marijuana and then it occurred the next three times I smoked marijuana, but it would go away after I slept off the high until the 4th time where the next day I had pains and went to the ER. EKG fine, x-ray fine, blood work fine. This was back on the 31st of March.

Since then up until Monday(the 13th), I had felt fine. On Monday I noticed the burning on my left breast and felt it spread to my arm, I got on the phone with my mom and talked to her about it, during that I was standing and felt pressure on my chest. The night before I did drink alcohol and I did so the two nights before and each time I drank enough to get drunk. I ended up going to the ER again, EKG fine, x-ray fine. No bloodwork or EKG stress test done.

I have not drank beer since the night before the symptoms and I have not smoked weed since the day before the first time I went to the ER.

I have noticed in the past few weeks that my body would react to caffeine and energy drinks negatively so I have cut them as well. I have scheduled two appointments, a general check up and an one for a cardiologist, but those are sometime away. How do I know if I should go to the ER again? The first time I thought it was the weed, could it be the alcohol still affecting me? Can alcohol influence me four days after my last drink?(I did drink three days straight).  The symptoms go on and off and shift to different things.

So I went to the ER again. Same deal. If my left arm pain has been going on for five days and my heart has been racing every time I wake up, but both ER visits my blood work, EKG test, and x-ray seem normal each time, is it safe to say I am going to be fine? The pain seems to be more in my elbow and sometimes pops up in my right elbow. I also feel tired a little while after waking up despite the fact that when I woke up I tried to sleep more but couldn't.

Of course I'm "not sure".

I'm just considering possibilities. I used to do crop dusting decades ago. I know they are spraying in Medico with chemicals that are banned in the United States because of toxicity.

Are you sure? I mean it was two weeks ago when I last smoked plus my roommate who I smoked with is totally fine.

On Mexico marijuana fields are sprayed heavily with acetacholinesterase inhibiters to kill the plants. Thus, you end up smoking "mary-jane plus".  These are classical signs of insecticide poisoning.
