What Causes Stabbing Pain Radiating Through The Mid-chest, Right Breast And Underarm?
dull stabbing pain started in mid chest and radiated to the right about 4 1/2 hours ago. Pain went away during first 30 minutes or so except in right side of right breast and under arm. Not actively aching now but feels more like sore muscle. Had double heart bypass 2009 with great recovery and no problems except occasional angina. Have nitro but very, very rare usage since surgery. This week I had about 5 very brief episodes of shortness of breath which is unusual for me. Now I have some tightness mid-chest which I feel is likely stress.

Hi There
After going through you query I understand your concern.
I would like to tell you that predominantly your symptoms are suggestive of Angina that needs to be evaluated further. Possibilities of coronary artery disease are there.
Kindly get an ECG, Echocardiolgraphy and Treadmil Test done and consult with a Cardiologist.
Hope to have been helpful.
Kind Regards
Dr. Navneet Bansal
