Sounds like two different issues to me.

As far as your arm, one thing that comes to mind is nerve compression on you right side. There is a thing called a brachial plexus (bunch of nerves that feed your arm sensation and parts of your upper chest muscles). If those get compressed you may get the tingling, pins and needles, or numbness sensation.

Another possibility is issues with blood flow to your arm.

The chest pains could be due to a number of causes. I'd go see a doctor as it is definittely causing you great distress.
