What Causes Electric Shock Sensation In The Breast And Neck?

Female - Age 48 - Electrical shock feeling behind left breast that goes up into my left clavical/neck area.
It comes and goes. I was awakened in the middle of the night feeling electrical pains. Since, I've been tender
on the left side and sometimes feel short of breathe.

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
By your history and description, we'll should first rule out heart diseases in your case.
So first get done ecg, 2d echo and stress test (trade mill test).
If all these are normal then no need to worry for heart diseases.
Sometimes, stress and anxiety can also cause similar symptoms.
So consult psychiatrist and get done counselling sessions. Try to identify stressor in your life and start working on it's solution.
Avoid stress and tension, be relax and calm.
Don't worry, you will be alright. But first rule out heart diseases.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
