A member asked:
Would pain in the right neck or shoulder caused by a heart attack go away with movement?

Usually heart pain: is made worse with activity. Right neck and shoulder pain is very rare as a cardiac symptom but not impossible. It is more common with gallbladder or musculo skeletal or cervical spine disease. To be safe get checked out by a health care provider.

Heart pain?: That description sounds atypical for a great-related pain. Not impossible, but atypical. If you have risk factors for heart disease, a stress test couldn't hurt.
