A member asked:
Boyfriend has been having left shoulder pain. he just turned 45. could this be a heart problem? he's had it for about a week now.

Shoulder pain: It is unlikely that focal shoulder pain is cardiac in nature. Also having the pain all the time constant without any relation to activity would tend to point more to shoulder. Also if there has not any cardiac history this make it less likely cardiac in origin.
