Hi dear,
From what you describe it does not look like a heart issue.
If it was something cardiac it would be associated with symptoms that are serious.
Also as you said your ECHO and ECG were normal.
I would recommend
1. Get Xray shoulder done
2. If it is inconclusive and pain persists please do MRI of shoulder as there could be tendinitis (inflammation of the tendon)
3. Try over the counter pain killer (tylenol or ibuprufen)
I wish you an early recovery dear.
Regards.
