Answer
Suresh,

The first thing you need to do is see your primary care physician immediately for your chest pain and shooting pain in the arms and legs. These symptoms are suspicious for a possible medical pathology; for example, a possible heart problem and a possible neurological problem should be ruled out.

If further evaluation come up negative for medical problems, then I recommend seeing a musculoskeletal-based chiropractor for further evaluation. Other considerations for the symptoms you're describing of a musculoskeletal nature include possible trigger points in the chest and shoulder region, possible joint dysfunction of the upper back, and possible disc derangement in the neck and lower back.
