Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted your history of pain at and the back of left shoulder, chest at heart level, a bit swelling left side upper back, with more of sign of acidity and back. Do not have heredity related heart issues. You are a male of 36.

The first thing to do is to get an EKG/ECG done and a cardiac check-up to rule out any heart problem as you have pain at the heart and the left shoulder.
If these are normal, please proceed for an opinion of an Orthopedic Surgeon to see if this is related to the muscles, joint and ribs as a part of some inflammation, overwork, sprain or so.

Start PPI like Omepraozole, antacid as you have acidity related problems.
Apply Rubrafacient liniment over the achy areas.
Painkillers to be started which are stomach friendly, please discuss this with your treating Doctor to avoid strong anti-inflammatory medicines that can cause increase in acidity.
If acidity problem is of long duration, please go for upper GI Endoscopy.

Please give me the feedback of the reports and opinion.

I hope this answer helps you to get an early diagnosis and proper treatment.
Take care.
