What Causes PICC Line On My Arm Along With Pressure Pain In My Chest?
I have a PICC line and have had it for about 5-6 weeks now. Yesterday and today I have noticed a dull ache in my chest. Almost like a pressure/pain towards the left side by my heart and kind of up inot the side of my neck on the left. The PICC line is in my right arm. When I take deep breaths is the worst around my heart and collar bone. Is this ok? Normal? bad?

Hello,
It's not that it is good or bad. But however, a chest X-ray should be done for the lungs to be sure. Talk to your doctor.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
