Suggest Treatment For Pain In The Breast
Question: Hi
I wore a really tight bra about 1 week ago and ever since then my breasts have been hurting. Could i have pulled a muscle? Or im on this new medicine amlodipine 5 mgs. Could that cause breast tenderness? I also have developed a cough, and havent been feeling that great. Could this all be me getting used to that pill or my breasts hurt from wearing that very tight bra?

Brief Answer:
Amlodipine and stress can cause
Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Thanks for your query and an elucidate history.
To recapitulate: Female/57 - tight bra 1 week ago - breasts hurting - new med Amlodipine - cough - not feeling great - Advil - anxiety 4 people passed away in 7 months - stressing on you - wants to know the reason for breast tenderness...
My thoughts:
Amlodipine is known to cause breast enlargement and pain particularly in female patients above the age of 60. Hence I would advise you to consult your Doctor and change over to another medicine. This will help in 2 ways- first of all, stopping this medicine can help to alleviate the pain in breasts. Secondly, this will be diagnostic and therapeutic too.
Tight bra is not much known to cause breast pains.
The stress can increase the blood pressure and all other bad effects on body and mind. Control of stress can negate the necessity of Amlodipine or such medicines and hence can control most of the symptoms. Stress it self can cause breast pain, costochondritis.
Insist on medication for stress too.
I hope this answer helps you, please feel free to ask for further relevant queries if you feel that there is a gap of communication and give feedback about the efficacy of starting stress buster treatment and change over to another medication.

Your symptoms look to be due to allergies or may be a flu without fever.
