Suggest Remedy For Persistent Chest Pains And Soreness Around Armpit

In the begining of December I requested a chest x-ray because I was having chest pain and shortness of breath. It was across my chest and not particularly on the left side. I am a nurse on the Med/Surg floor and I was thinking blood clot. It came back clear, but the dr said something about a little under-expansion, whatever that means. I was given an in-haler as I have a hx of asthma. since November I ve been on 3 antibiotics, 2 steroids and had a CT scan of my sinus s and been told I have sinusitis. While the sinus s are feeling a little better, this chest pain has hung around. It goes into my armpits and just gives me the feeling of overall soreness through there. I ve also felt some tremoring since December (dr attributed that to all the sudafed, but haven t taken any for like 3 weeks now), and have noticed decreased and blurry vision over the last 6 months (possibly just need my eyes checked?). It was worse with the sinus problems. Don t know if any of this is related...Have had lots of labs drawn. CBC, CMP, C Reactive Protein...etc. Alkaline Phosphatase and ALT are only slightly elevated. Was also told thyroid was a little under-active... Kind of at a loss...

Hello,

After going through your medical query I understand your concern and I would like to tell you that your symptoms are suggesting costochondritis with asthma and sinusitis for which you will require proper treatment.

It's also recommended for you start with Hypothyroidic treatment.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Bhanu Partap, Cardiologist
