See your doctor: There are several causes for this type of pain, but one of the most important potential causes to consider is the heart. Please make sure you follow up with your doctor.

Sounds like cervical: Shooting pain to the shoulder may be coming from your cervical spine (neck). New onset of pain should be evaluated by an orthopedist. Most often this is treated with therapy and anti-inflammatories.
