Sir I understand your concern for your health condition. As per your history i assume that you are having only sensation problem on right shoulder. And as you are already taking medicine for high cholesterol. I would suggest to consult your doctor and get it evaluated for any neurological weakness or numbness. As it can be an early signs of stroke also. So i would suggest to consult your doctor Wish you speedy recovery.
