9. Angina

Angina is chest pain, but it can radiate to the arm and cause armpit pain. It is a symptom of coronary artery disease and presents as a heaviness or tightness in the chest. In addition to radiating to the arm, angina can also cause pain in the neck, jaw, back, and shoulders. The most common type of angina is stable angina, which occurs when people exert themselves. Unstable angina can lead to a heart attack, so any chest pain should be considered a medical emergency.
