What Causes Intermittent Pain On Left Side Of Breast And Armpit?

Hi I have pain on my side left breast and armpit. Just has an ultrasound and mammogram but nothing serious found. It's on and off and most of the time felt the soreness of the left side breast. Can you please advise what other test I need to do just to check what's going on. Thanks

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have intermittent pain on left side of breast and armpit. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like allergic reaction , heartburn , pulled muscles , cysts , glandular infection or lymphadenitis. There can be issue like angina also . So i would suggest you to consult cardiologist to rule out cardiac problem . Doctor may order ECG, TMT , troponin t test and complete blood profile . Doctor may prescribe isosorbid nitrate , aspirin , betablockers or may refer you to general practitioner , who may prescribe muscle relaxant , antibiotics along with anti inflammatory . For now apply warm compresses several times a day and take ibuprofen or acetaminophen for pain .

Hope your concern has been resolved.
