Yesterday I decided for the first time in my life that I wanted to do push ups since I was tired of being a lanky failure.

Did about 30-40 yesterday and now my shoulder area near my breast really fucking hurts.
Is this to be expected?

Yep.

Start slower.

Do 5-10, rest 30 seconds, then do another set.

yeah, it sounds like you're using the right part of your chest. well, it depends actually, is it the actual shoulder? or is the chest area near the shoulder? cuz if its the first you may be doing you're push ups WAY wrong. also do you feel anything in your triceps, the muscle under your bicep? the underside of your arm....???
