During an angina attack, coldness in the arms generally does not occur, but arm pain may be present. Angina is a type of coronary artery disease, with the main symptom being a squeezing chest pain typically located behind the breastbone. However, when the pain is severe, it may radiate to the upper limbs, resulting in arm pain.
