Suggest Treatment For Pain In Armpits And Dizziness
Question: Yesterday morning, I woke up with sudden pain in what seemed like my lymph nodes in my armpits; or the muscles in that area. It has not gone away. Then, yesterday afternoon, I found myself feeling a very sudden wave of nausea, sweat on my forehead, and dizziness. The feeling passed after a few minutes, but I felt lightheaded for awhile afterward. Today, the discomfort in my armpit areas on both sides continues; and I have felt some sort of shooting pains up and down in my neck. I am a 66-year-old woman in good health; and I don't ever remember having these symptoms before. I have heard descriptions of symptoms of heart attack in women; and I am concerned. Could you give me some information about what might be going on? Thank you.
Brief Answer:
Symptoms are suggestive of cervical spodylosis
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Welcome to HCM and thanks for your query.
I understand your concern.
Your symptoms are suggestive of cervical spodylosis with pinched nerves producing the sharp shooting pains.
These pains are not the typical pain of a heart disease.
The pain in the arm pits are likely to be of the muscles. Is there any swelling? If it is possible , get yourself examined by a doctor.
Take care.

So would a chiropractic treatment help this condition?
Brief Answer:
Physical Medicine Specialist is the best option
Detailed Answer:
Chiropractic treatment is not a recognised or licensed treatment in the country I work in and have little first hand experience.
Physiatrist ( a specialist in Physical medicine ) is the one whom I would recommend. If a Physiatrist is not available, then an Internist, Orthopaedic or Neurologist would be able to help you.
