Pain Under left Breast ? Please Reply ASAP

[Bianca123]

Well First of I'm new here so Hi Everyone!

My name is Bianca. Before I get started here's a few details in case your in need of any for this question.

Weight : 8.5 Stone

Age : 25

I have been getting a pain under my left breast that feels like a bruise when pressed lightly. I also keep getting a sharp pain somewhere in that region but can't tell if it's my heart or something else which feels very unconformable to the point I may have to move. My Arm does feel slightly different sometimes when this happens and is brought on when sit and relaxing.

About 3 years ago I started getting heart palpitations, went to the GP and was told is was down to stress. I did go again and had a heart monitor put on by my local hospital but they never got back to me or my GP about the results.

The Palpitations happen randomly and can last from a week to 2 weeks.

I also suffer from IBS and have done for about 7 years, when this plays up I feel tired and my heart palpitations can worsen.

I've also been on the pill for 5 years and changed to the coil for the last 3 years to currently.

As I used to get irregular periods every 2 months (Had a hormonal test and there slightly of key)

When I was on the pill this helped but with my coil I've had no period in 3 years. Though I can still get pain and slight blood.

I've put in as many details as I can to help rule out the curse.

Just to add I've been getting this pain for about 4 days now and I'm scared...

Thanks for any help

Bianca

I also forgot to mention that sometimes I get twitch's in my left arm or legs.

I also get a weird feeling in my left arm like its aching.

I hope you went to the ER there are a host of things it could be... G.E.R.D., Hiatal Hernia, muscle entrapment with the intercostal, oh and the big heart attack.....nothing to play around with.

Costochondritis maybe?

Hi Bianca I realise any pain in that region is scary and should be checked out by your GP. Do you suffer from anxiety? I got told a useful bit of information that if you press the area and you feel pain it’s very unlikely to be your heart but muscular skeletal. See your GP for your peace of mind ASAP. A lot of what you describe is fibro systems have you been diagnosed with it? Take care Steve x

Hi, Thanks for your reply Steve. I do suffer from Anxiety. I will make a GP Appointment tomorrow and your message made me feel a little better.

Good luck tomorrow if itngets worse get yourself to A & E. My costochonditis did start under my left breast and to the side as it is inflammation of the ribcage and can be extremely painful but I do think that you need to have this checked.x
