What Causes Burning Pain On The Shoulder While Having High Blood Pressure?
I have had a twinging/burning sudden pain in my right shoulder anteriorly once today and once about a month ago, it also happened in my right scapula area about a month ago as well , just once but same kind of plain. I am 58 yr old female and am worried about my heart. I have high cholesterol at 231 and high b/p at 132/72 controlled with meds. could this be a warning?

Hello,
The burning sensation in the right shoulder seem to be related to a pinched nerve in the shoulder. It is not related to a cardiac issue. I suggest using anti-inflammatory medication such as Ibuprofen 400 mg. If the symptoms continue, I suggest to do an X-ray of the shoulder or ct scan for further evaluation.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
