Hi all, I have been for an ECG and bloods test, blood pressure, everything came back fine

I have a burning sensation on the left side of my chest and it radiates into my shoulder/arm and fingers sometimes. you know that feeling when you hold a hot water bottle in one place for too long and it starts tingling/burning? its like that.

So I have a discomfort that ebbs and flows in intensity which isnt cardiac

I am doing IFS therapy and I attempted to ask which part is causing this pain but i've had no response from any part.

im very worried about this

Maybe a pinched nerve, something like that?

This sounds like a nerve, I'd visit a neurologist.

could be, although its mostly just a burning sensation like when you hug a naked hot water bottle for too long. the tingling part is rare

It could be an issue with your neck, clavicle, ribs. Neck issues commonly go down arm and hands.

Acid reflux or peripheral neuropathy also come to mind. MS can be an uncommon cause. Thoracic outlet. Do you carry a heavy bag on that side? You could try a PT, phsyiatrist or DO. Chiropractor if you trust them.

Signs and symptoms of peripheral neuropathy might include:

Gradual onset of numbness, prickling or tingling in your feet or hands, which can spread upward into your legs and arms
Sharp, jabbing, throbbing, freezing or burning pain
Extreme sensitivity to touch
Lack of coordination and falling
Muscle weakness or paralysis if motor nerves are affected

Causes
Not a single disease, peripheral neuropathy is nerve damage caused by a number of conditions. Causes of neuropathies include:

Alcoholism. Poor dietary choices made by people with alcoholism can lead to vitamin deficiencies.

Autoimmune diseases. These include Sjogren's syndrome, lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, Guillain-Barre syndrome, chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy and necrotizing vasculitis.

Diabetes. More than half the people with diabetes develop some type of neuropathy.
Exposure to poisons. Toxic substances include heavy metals or chemicals.

Medications. Certain medications, especially those used to treat cancer (chemotherapy), can cause peripheral neuropathy.

Infections. These include certain viral or bacterial infections, including Lyme disease, shingles, Epstein-Barr virus, hepatitis C, leprosy, diphtheria and HIV.

Inherited disorders. Disorders such as Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease are hereditary types of neuropathy.

Trauma or pressure on the nerve. Traumas, such as from motor vehicle accidents, falls or sports injuries, can sever or damage peripheral nerves. Nerve pressure can result from having a cast or using crutches or repeating a motion such as typing many times.

Tumors. Growths, cancerous (malignant) and noncancerous (benign), can develop on the nerves or press nerves. Also, polyneuropathy can arise as a result of some cancers related to the body's immune response. These are a form of paraneoplastic syndrome.

Vitamin deficiencies. B vitamins — including B-1, B-6 and B-12 — vitamin E and niacin are crucial to nerve health.

Bone marrow disorders. These include abnormal protein in the blood (monoclonal gammopathies), a form of bone cancer (osteosclerotic myeloma), lymphoma and amyloidosis.

Other diseases. These include kidney disease, liver disease, connective tissue disorders and an underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism).
