I'm feeling really stressed today, and now I have this pain in my right shoulder and arm. It's so bad that I can't even lift my arm above my head without it hurting. What could be causing this, and should I be worried?

The shoulder and arm pain you're experiencing, especially if it's provoked by stress and affects your ability to lift your arm, could be related to musculoskeletal issues such as a strain or tendonitis. However, if there is any concern that the pain might be cardiac-related, it's important to rule out conditions like angina, especially given your stress. I recommend visiting your healthcare provider to evaluate the cause of your pain and ensure appropriate treatment. They may suggest rest, ice, and possibly anti-inflammatory medications, or they may perform further tests to rule out any cardiac involvement.
