Experienced Sudden Pain Under The Arm And Shoulder
I developed sudden pain from under my arm down my arm and in my shoulder on the right side. I felt like I had been kicked an could not touch the areas concerned and had a burning sensation in those areas. I am concerned if it has anything to do with my heart.

Sir mostly, classically the, radiation of the pain, on left side arm is of cardiac origin. However I don't say right cannot be heart. Saying so based on your symptoms and particularly the soreness after the pain subsides looks more neurological, you must have slept on the same side and a small nerve twig must have been compressed which is may have caused the symptoms.
If the symptoms persist just get a EKG done, but in your history I don't feel primarily it's cardiac
