Comcerns aboit pain in my shoulder

I have recently been feeling pain in my left shoulder even though I am fairly certain that I have not injured it. My concern is that could it be related to a possible heart attack?

Is the pain related to movement or position of the shoulder? If so, it is very unlikely to be cardiac in origin. If it is related to exertion and relieved by rest, then it might be cardiac. (I am not talking about exertion with the shoulder.) Your doctor should check you. In any case, at your age, a cardiac evaluation by your doctor would be a good idea.
My mistake. You are female, I misread. One less risk factor and even less likely CAD. But my recs remain the same ..
