Hi,
If your pain is due to heart attack than it is usually constricting chest pain and pain referred to arm or shoulder as well. The nerve compression pain is usually sharp and shooting pain.
If your pain occurs in particular movement than possibly it can be musculoskeletal pain. I suggest you consult physician for examination. If needed physician will plan EKG investigation and USG local part for you.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
