Sounds like: it may be a pinched nerve in your neck! Speak with your primary care provider (PCP) about this. Cervical spine exercises ( building up muscles on either side of your neck/upper back) may help! Hope this helps! Dr Z

Any pain: in left shoulder or arm could be angina, so you should have it checked out by your doctor.

Tough to say: without seeing or examining you in person. The shoulder discomfort you describe could have many possible etiologies such as muscle spasm, heart palpitation or gastrointestinal component.
