Indigestion limited: Indigestion should be relieved over a short period of time. You are 29 so it is unlikely to be a heart problem. Unless your family has a history of heart problems. Simple things like what you ate, when, etc. If the pain persists or if you have a family history then you should see a doctor or emergency department. Shoulder blade pain can be concern for aortic dissection but it is severe.

Shoulder pain: This pattern of severe digestive symptoms (presumably after a meal) is typical of gallbladder pain (biliary colic). The pain is usually pretty abrupt in onset, just after a meal, can last for hours, with nausea. The gallbladder is relatively unique in commonly sending pain to the r shoulder blade. Many causes can lead to pain under the breast bone (epigastric pain).
