I know that when someone has a heart attack one of the symptoms is pain in the arms and even the neck, teeth and jaws. My question is if someone had the above symptoms but didn’t have any central chest pain, does this mean that you can exclude a heart attack as a cause ?
Also if you have pain/discomfort in the left side of the chest does this exclude a heart attack as the cause (because from what I have read the pain is in the centre of the chest).
Thanks.

Heart attacks can present in different ways for everybody, there is no one universal sign. Women tend to have different symptoms than men, some people don’t have any symptoms when they have a heart attack. Having chest/jaw/arm pains doesn’t necessarily mean you have had a heart attack, but there still could be a blockage causing the pain that could lead to a heart attack.
If you are concerned about it, see your doctor and have an EKG done to look for any heart attack and also a stress test that would show if there are any areas of the heart that have lack of blood flow. Good luck
Pain anywhere in the chest could mean a heart attack. Not just in the center of the chest. Another big symptom is difficulty breathing or shortness of breath. If you have pain in your arm and you did not strain it in some way, I would make an appointment with your physician.
