Hi:
While right arm pain involvement is typically not reported during a heart attack, anything is possible.
Additionally, of the different types/kinds of heart conditions, various symptoms may/can be acute (occurring suddenly), be chronic (occurring over a long period of time), come and go (be transient, fleeting or episodic), or even be silent.
Medical rule of thumb,
report ANY bothersome, concerning, troublesome, worrisome, worsening or new symptom(s) to a/your doctor promptly.
Best of luck down the road of life.
Take care,

WOMEN & Heart Attack The whole disease is poorly understood in women, from the expression of the symptoms all the way down to some of the basic mechanisms. The disease has a very broad spectrum, and more men are at one side and more women are at the other side.

WOMEN and CAD 60% of women who die suddenly (sudden cardiac death) from CAD have no previous symptoms. Women are less likely to notice they have a heart problem. Women with heart disease often have symptoms different from men, instead of classic chest pain or pressure (angina pectoris), they may report dyspnea, fatigue,
indigestion and anxiety. Making an accurate diagnosis of heart disease in women is often more challenging than it is in men.
