What Causes Pain In The Shoulder & Chest?
Okay, last night I went to bed and it sort of felt like I had a pulled muscle in my right shoulder right below the shoulder blade. I had a little pain in my chest, but thought it was only my shoulder. This morning I woke up and about 10:00 it started hurting worse and the pain has now spread to my other shoulder and up the back of my neck. It also hurts in my chest really bad, especially when I cough. I am running a slight temperature. What can this be?

Hi There
After going through your query I understand your concern.
I would like to tell you that muscle pull can trouble you for couple of days with localized tenderness but your symptoms are suggestive of myocardial ischemia too as chest pain radiating to both arms and neck. you need immediate medical attention to evaluate any cardiac emergency.
Kindly get an ECG and Echocardigraphy done and consult with a Cardiologist.
Hope to have been Helpful.
Kind Regards
Dr. Navneet Bansal
