Inflammation: Inflammation of the tissues surrounding the heart and lungs (pleurisy and pericarditis) can cause pain along the left lateral neck muscle (trapezius) and can cause shortness of breath. This is often caused by a virus. However, to determine the cause of your symptoms, it would be best for you to see your doctor for an examination.
