Hi. Sorry to hear about your problem. As far as your question is concerned. Perhaps you know the answer already. Yes if you are having something wrong (infection/inflammation) with your shoulder joint, it is a wise choice to give some rest. It's better that you should visit a local orthopedic surgeon (for investigations for confirmation diagnosis of shoulder joint pathology and an appropriate prescription most probably of anti-inflammatory agent). Also, you mentioned two episodes of having heart attack. So as being a cardiac (ischemic heart disease) patient, it's better to refrain yourself from vigorous exercises (hockey) and heavy weight lifting. Such type of activities can provoke further cardiac event. I would suggest having some brisk walk rather than these exercises. Hoping these few lines might help you. Wishing you best of health. Regards.
