What Causes Pain Under The Left Breast?
I have fibromyagia, however i am having a pain under my left breast and my blood pressure is normal. Its hard to determine if something is going on because I also have a pain in my left shoulder and back. Could this be a muscle strain or something else

Hello,
If the pleura surrounding the left lung become inflamed due to infection or another cause, the resulting pain will develop under the left breast. The most common symptom of pleurisy is sharp chest pain when taking a deep breath, but it can also be accompanied by pain in the shoulder.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
