    Hi Cody. The pain you're experiencing could be as a result of any number of issues - from indigestion, mild arthritis, right up to angina - which could be plague build up if you have high cholesterol. I have no heart or arterial problems but I get that type of pain from OA in the neck and a rotator cuff injury and ruptured bicep tendon. However, if the pain is angina or arterial blockage related, you will need an angiogram not an Echo, the latter can determine if the heart is pumping ok but wont necessarily show any artery blockages.
