Why Having Pressure In Heart Along With Sore Neck And Shoulder?

My heart feels like it has pressure on it for the past three days. What does this mean? I also have an extremely sore right neck and shoulder. Also pain shoots through my right arm. I have recently had my neck cracked back in place and then I went for a neck and shoulder massage, which was extremely painfull. The pain is still there, but it has been reduced.
