Could Pain In Chest Muscle And Shoulder Be Due To Pulling The Leash Of A Puppy?

Yes, I have had pain in my left chest muscle into my shoulder for quite some time. It seems to get worse after I sleep on my side at night on that side. All my risks for heart disease are in normal ranges. Could it be from walking a large new strong puppy who I am always pulling back on the leash because she is pulling me so hard?
