A member asked:
I have sharp pain in my left shoulder, sometimes my heart beats strong &i'm feeling choked.i exercise without any trouble, can it be a heart problem?

No: If you are exercising without trouble, then the chest pains you are having are very unlikely to be from your heart.

Shoulder pain: Probably not your heart, as exercise usually makes heart symptoms worse. See your doctor for check up concerning your symptoms.
