Anxiety: I understand your concern as “shoulder pain that came on all of a sudden” Be assured that you are not having heart attack as you do not have severe chest pain, shortness of breath, weakness or sweating; and you have “slight shoulder pain” Your Anxiety can cause shoulder pain. Anxiety can be due to stress. See Psychiatrist for Therapy, Medication, Use Breathing and Music, Yoga Relaxation
