Hello,

Even though pain is not simulate the heart attack you have to confirm that it is not due to heart.

Also left shoulder osteoarthritis or herpes zoster or left pleuracy or stroke may present like this.

You have to get one ECG first if it is not realated to your heart then you can take pain killer medication and consult your orthopedician he will examine and treat you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
