Suggest Treatment For Pain On Side Of Breast And Armpit

Hi. I have been having a pain right over and to the side of my left breast and sometimes into my armpit. The pain goes through to my back and sometimes down part of my arm. I really believe that it may be a gas pocket, but this has been going on for over 2 months. Do you have any suggestions of what it may be?

Thank you

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
In my opinion, we should first rule out cardiac cause for your chest pain.
So get done ecg, 2d echo and stress test (trade mill test).
If all these are normal then no need to worry for heart diseases.
Sometimes musculoskeletal pain can also cause similar symptoms.
So apply warm water pad on affected areas.
Avoid movements causing pain. Avoid heavyweight lifting and strenuous exercise.
Take simple painkiller and muscle relaxant drugs like ibuprofen and thiocolchicoside.
Don't worry, you will be alright with all these.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
