What Causes Severe Pain Between The Shoulder Blades Radiating To The Arms?

I have sudden onset of severe pain originating between my shoulder blades, radiates to my shoulders, arms and chest. The pain is so severe it makes me want to hold my breathe, but taking slow deep breaths helps. The episode lasts for anywhere from 30 seconds to 3 minutes and have been getting longer. No correlation in activity when it occurs. Sometimes I am casually walking, other times it is after I stand up and start walking but no lightheadedness ever involved. Ideas?

Sorry about your pain, you didn't tell us whether there is fever or cough.
I think it is a pain originating from your musculoskeletal system.
Some pain reliever would help you.
I hope you find my answer helpful, if not in would still be here to help.
Cheers
