Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you for asking!
I read your query and understood your concern.

Your symptoms are related to acute pericarditis. Patient with acute pericarditis experience chest, shoulder and arm pain during pericardial liquid drying phase. It's crucial in these case to take NSAID drugs (such as advil) to ease the pain. If the pain persist more than a week, you should repeat cardiac echo.

Wish you health!
