Hello,

I read carefully your query and understand your concern.

Pain in your chest and shoulder can have many causes. Some of the most common include angina.
Another possible condition can be gallstones.
I suggest to an electrocardiogram and an abdominal ultrasound for further evaluation.
I recommend to go at the emergency room for further evaluation.

Hope my answer was helpful.

If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.

Kind regards!
