What Does Severe Pain In The Shoulders Indicate?
I am a 55 yr old overweight female. I have been having some issues with an electrical type pain that shoots across the top of my shoulders. I am usually weak and tired following these episodes. I have a strong family history of heart disease and have had my heart thoroughly checked out within the last 3 years, with no issues found at that time. Should I be worried?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
As per the narration of the issue, there is possible nerve compression around the shoulder region with referred pain mimicking as heart problem.
Your prime focus should be weight control and regular follow up with your doctor for assisted physiotherapy and medicine support.
Wish you great day.
Thanks.
