Physical therapist used electrical acupuncture on my neck and shoulders. it caused a pressure feeling in l shoulder n front of chest. normal or heart?

Not exactly sure: why it caused pressure in your chest? It is always important to insure that the person who performs acupuncture on you - is properly trained to do so. (I am not suggesting that the physical therapist wasn't trained however).
