Understanding your concern. As per your query you have persistent shoulder pain along with difficulty in breathing. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like cervical spondylosis , tendinitis or angina . But in your case the symptoms seems to be due to cervical spondylosis . I would suggest you to consult cardiologist without any delay . Doctor may order ECG , TMT , complete blood profile and check vitals . Doctor may prescribe isosorbide nitrate , beta blockers , diuretics and aspirin along with sedatives . Doctor may also refer you to orthopedic surgeon for muscle bone or shoulder joint problem . Doctor may prescribe anti inflammatory and recommend physical therapy . For now take proper rest and do not exert your body .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes, Dr. Harry Maheshwar
