I have evaluated your query thoroughly .
1. Every sharp pain of left side chest does not necessarily indicate heart
disease , there are many more other causes .
2. Prolonged head ache has various conditions ranging from - migraine
- high BP - visual disturbances - stress induced - vascular headache -
- low blood sugar - dehydration - chronic smoking - tumors - others .
OTC medication is Tylenol ( 500 ) mg for the same .
3. Application of analgesic spray , pain killer tablets round the clock say
8 hourly , avoidance of straining of that shoulder for 3 days .
If still same discomfort , consult an orthopedic surgeon for evaluation
of the same .
Hope this clears your query .
