dear,
welcome to HCM
A possibility of gastric ulceration, esophagitis, with the pain radiating to shoulder.
A base line investigation of ECG, liver function test, ultrasonography, XRay abdomen can be done.
if required endoscopy can be indicated.
A consultation to general physician is advisable.

regards,
Dr Pankaj
