Answer
Rashid,

Thank you for your question. While I cannot give you a diagnosis over the Internet, it does not sound as if your symptoms are musculoskeletal in origin. I would be concerned about gallbladder disease or gallstones, which can refer pain to the scapular, abdominal, and chest regions.

I would recommend seeing a gastroenterologist or general surgeon for further work-up, which would probably include a CT scan.

I hope this helps to answer your question.
