Hi,

In angina there is presence of constricting chest pain. So angina seems less likely. But as history of dyspnea present it's better to investigate with chest X-ray and EKG for further work up.
Your left shoulder pain could be from any nerve compression of cervical region or arthritis problem. In heart attack pain usually present in chest as well referred to arm, not located only to shoulder. Local part X-ray of cervical spine can be done if needed.

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