1.Tender area in the breast giving radiation pain - possible cause of infective aetiology (abscess / infective collection/folliculitis) in the chest wall with axillary region swelling / arm pit area, can think interns of lymph nodal enlargement.
2. Related chest symptoms,cough and breathlessness make to think towards of lung pathology.
3. If you are my patient i would have start in this way - examine you to see if there is any lump / collection in the breast region and axillary region - if there is any mass i would go for ultrasound scan for further evaluation.
4. If no mass felt in the breast area - would think in terms of lung pathology and chest wall involvement. For which initially a x-ray chest PA view ( grossly it will give an idea, presence of any pathology) after that if required CECT chest for better evaluation (contrast enhanced computer tomography - CECT). Depending in the findings further treatment.
5.So i would recommend to see your GP and get the needful investigations and treatment done. Good luck.
Hope it helps you. Wish you a good health.
