Shoulder pain: This type of pain is unlikely to be a heart attack unless its associated with more symptoms like chest pain, nausea, lightheaded, weak. Still could take to doc and get him checked.

Unlikely: Pain anywhere in the chest can occur with heart, but the one you describe is way down the list. Mid sternal neck left arm upper abdomen are more usual. If smoker, obese, hyperlipidemia, family history then may be worth a visit to md.
