Had Breast Pain Near Armpit, Shortness Of Breath And Numbness In Arm. Told To Be Pulled Muscle. Suggest?

I have a question. A couple days ago it had bad pain in my right breast closer to my arm pit area. I became very short of breath and was having a hard time breathing. my arm was going numb and would tingle. went into emergency and they said it was a pulled musuel. 2 days later i could finally take a normal breath but its turned into an ach in the breast and i have brusing on it. Just wondering if this is normal and if it is a pulled musel. I didn't do anything different to pull anything.

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
If you got alright, then it could be pulled muscle, only one thing which is not common on pulled muscle and that is tingling sensation so to rule out this the cervical pathology has to be considered, just wait for couple of days if every thing is alright then enjoy the life have nice day.
