It's all related : It's possible to have a pain arch wins that only last for a few seconds between your shoulder blades and radiating to the front because the ribs are connected both to the spine in back as well as the sternum in front (breastbone.) your breathing patterns from your diaphragm could be affecting this, and your neck too. See an osteopathic physician, who can do a complete musculoskeletal exam, diagnose it, and to get you out of pain quickly.

Thoracic Spine: Thoracic spine areas will allow nerves to exit out of the spine and wrap around into the chest wall and abdomen. So herniated discs there can cause pain into these areas as well. I would consider seeing a pain specialist for treatment options like epidural steroid injection or even facet joint treatments.
