shoulder blade pain at higher heart rates

GREAT, creative, and to-the-point answer by KnottedYet. Loved it!

Yes, Knotty's response was very amusing... I laughed myself. Wasn't ever suggesting I was going to ask a trainer to diagnose me, I was going to ask if he'd ever heard of anyone else having the issue.... the goal being to try to figure out which direction to seek help, if needed, because starting at a GP is just ridiculous and a complete waste of time and money.

The question was more a curiosity thing - it's been happening for years, happens when my heart rate gets up above 180, which is rare. As for Darwin Awards...thanks sunshine, but no worries, I'm not passing these genes on, I didn't breed.

All jokes aside, I wouldn't turn to a trainer for direction. Even assuming your trainer has had other clients with similar issues that turned out not to be heart related, that tells you NOTHING about what's going on with you. Any trainer worth what you pay them will tell you the same thing you've been told here. Go to a cardiologist and get a full work up. Bypass your GP if you must, but don't let your lack of faith in GPs to prevent you from getting evaluated. This is an area where you err on the side of caution.
