Suggest Treatment For Sharp Pain In The Breast And Shoulder
I have been having shooting pains in my left breast that penetrates into my back left shoulder. Happens a couple of times a day at least. I had my husband do a breadth exam but he didn t feel a lump. However when he felt around the area where it has been hurting it began hurting more and has been constant for about 30-45 minutes now

Hello,
I have studied your case. If this pain is on the left side than it can be due to heart problem. He should immediately go to Er and get ECG. If there is any abnormality than she should take tablet to take care of that.
If it is on right side than there is not so much to be worried. he still need a x ray though.
Some time ECG is normal and she may need stress 2 D echo. I hope this answer will be useful for her. Let me know if there is any other followup questions.
thanks
