What Causes Chest Pain Radiating Towards Left Shoulder?
I had chest pain just before I went to sleep last night. Woke up on and off through the night with the chest pain. I woke up this morning with sharp chest pain and going into the left shoulder. This pain is still there nine hours later. The deeper breath I take it hurt more and I get lightheaded. Lying down the pain is stronger.

thank you for asking the question.
Pain in chest radiating towards left shoulder and sharp stabbing pain which increase with breathing and lying down probably indicates affection of pulmonary membrane covering the lung. so you definitely consult the doctor do a chest x-ray and other investigation to rule out the underlying pathology.
Hope this will helpful to you.
