What Causes Pain Between Shoulder Blades With Shortness Of Breath?

I am a 61 year old female. I am having sharp pain between my shoulder blades, and am short of breath with a small amount of excretion. I have had very bad stressful surgeries in the past. My life at this time is full of added stress. My mother passed away while having bypass surgery (heart) I had aorta bifem surgery and have stents to help circulation in my legs, and a few months ago I had surgery for a twisted bowel and ruptured hernia. I am scared to the point of panic and depression. Could it possibly be something less serious, then heart?)
