Hi,

I passed carefully through your question and would explain that the racing heart could be related to the pain or thyroid hormone imbalance. For this reason, I would first recommend checking thyroid hormone levels for possible dose adjustment to your therapy if necessary.

I would also recommend performing a cardiac ultrasound and a resting ECG to exclude any possible cardiac disorders. Regarding the shoulder pain, I would recommend trying Pregabaline or Gabapentine, which can help improve your situation.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka
