Pain in shoulder/arm on right side?

Two days ago I woke up with a severe pain in my right shoulder (almost to my spine) all through the bicep of my right arm. It generally aches but sometimes if i move just wrong it REALLY hurts, and it feels weak.

I assumed I slept on it funny, popped an aspirin and went about my day. It is still hurting though. It's not as painful as it was and I have full range of motion but sleeping is extremely unpleasant... I sleep on my right side and it hurts my arm now.

What the heck did i do? Should I call the doctor or just stick a heating pad on it?

Update:

Forgot to add what i see as the strangest part.. when i inhale deeply/suddenly or cough ect.. it hurts - mostly my arm but my back/shoulder as well.

    Although the pain is in your shoulder, it could be Bicep Tendonitis, this is where the Bicep tendon that lies in a groove in your shoulder gets damaged and causes pain on movement, physiotherapy will help, hope this was of some help
