What Causes Pain In Left Side Of Chest Radiating To Back?
Last night I started having pain in my left chest area behind my breast radiating around to my back. If I took a deep breath the pain would radiate across my entire chest. I have dm and a family hx of heart issues, I am 40 yo female. Are these signs of a MI or possibly a pulled chest muscle?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
According to your narration, it does not necessarily confirm MI. More possibility is of muscular strain or stretch, lung parenchymal lesion or costochondral issues.
Need evaluation with physical examination, supportive tools as x-ray of the chest, EKG, and further management.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel
