Hello
Thanks for posting
I have gone through your query and understand your concern. The pain in between the shoulder could be a sign of impending heart attack.This happens,whenever there is decreased blood supply to inferior wall of heart.Hence,its highly recommended to visit A&E and get ECG done.
You can take disprin tablet ,while going to hospital.
Revert back with the ECG report.
Take care
