What Does Pressure Under The Breasts Indicate?
I have what feels like a band or a belt under my breasts all the time. I do smoke and I cough a lot. i tried to go to the clinic and the moment your say anything in your chest they sent me to the er for an ekg. they don t listen and so i haven t gone back. it is under my breasts, constant, worse when i eat. would describe it as discomfort rather than pain.

Hi,
Thanks for using HealthcareMagic
If the pain is worse with eating, then it is possible that it be reflux with bloating.
Bloating causes a tightness in the abdomen. You may need to try and determine if there are specific foods that affect the symptoms.In general - spicy foods, acidic foods, fatty/fried foods , caffeine,mint-- can cause this problem.
I hope this helps.
