Nothing suggestive of is ischemia in ecg,no need of trop T if your TMT was normal last week..but need evaluation for the arm pain-musculoskeletal or referred
Next Steps
Pain aggravated and relieving factors?,similar history in past?Lipid levels,any tenderness,exercise status ,any diurnal variation
Trop I is not needed , your ecg is normal . More over any change which was significant would have been picked up by a stress test/ treadmill ecg test . As both are normal , not to worry. It seems likely to be musculoskeletal, correlates with your age . Cardiac chest pain being unlikely . Consult if any further clarification .
What is your age?
And what kind of pain did u feel in arm? Was it tearing/sinctillating/stabbing dull aching? Give details
Was it associated with jaw pain anxiety,sweating and increased blood pressure?
Any palpitations or increase in heart rate?

Are u lifting any heavy objects?
Did u have severe cough in past?
