Hi Dear .

As per your query you have feeling of something stuck in throat and have paain in shoulder . Well there can be many reasons for symptoms like feeling of something stuck in throat like acid reflux , esophagitis , diverticula , esophageal ring and tonsillitis . As far as shoulder pain is concer if there is feeling of chest pressure , pain radiating from chest towards jaw , shoulder and arm then it will be a matter of concern and need immidiate medical attention other wise it can occur due to various other reasons like shoulder joint wrong movement , tendinitis , and trepezius trigger points . I would suggest you to take ibuprofen for pain and apply warm compresses . For throat do warm saline gargles and eat one or two bananas . If symptoms doesn't get well then consult ENT specialist and cardiologist .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
