Brief Answer:
Supportive care , needs work up and management.

Detailed Answer:
Thank you for asking

I read your question and i understand your concern. Chest shoulder and arm pain at age of 67 should be evaluated first for any heart problem, if that ruled out by simple ecg then should be evaluated for rheumatological conditions, age related arthralgias, muscle spasms, polymyalgia rheumatica, vitamiN D deficiency and osteoporotic changes should be considered as a possible cause.

Please visit a local hospital, let them run some labs and we will know whats is causing this. Treatment will be according to the results.

I hope it helps. Take good care of yourself and dont forget to close the discussion please.

Brief Answer:
Yes esophagitis common cause

Detailed Answer:
Thank you for getting back to me

Yes esophagitis can be a very common cause for such chest pains and need to be managed supportively with diet lifestyle adjustments and ant acids . Small frequent meals, avoiding triggers like coffee, alcohol, beer, soda, beverages, tea, spices, chocolates , bige eating and drinking etc should be avoided. Delay lying down after meals for at least 2 hours. Lose weight and keep BMI below 25 and see if it helps.

I hope it helps.
