Q: I have the problem of the upper part of my right breast vibrating. I keep my cell phone in my bra so

metimes - but that's not when it happens. It's at least once or twice a day for at least 20 minutes. Has anyone had this - and do you know what it is?

Joanie, I've never heard of this. It sounds like some kind of nerve
reaction. Maybe it's not such a good idea to keep your cell phone in
your bra. Try switching it to the left cup, and see if your left
breast starts vibrating in response. At least you'd know, then, that
it was related to the cell phone...

And, as always — if it's bothering you and making you worry, go see
the doctor! Good luck, Joanie- PJH

Hi Joanie,

That's a new one for me, too. I tend to believe in erring on the side of caution and running new symptoms/reactions by the doctor. This certainly does not sound like any kind of breast cancer symptom  I have heard of but these things are always worth checking out. And perhaps you could try carrying your cell phone in a pocket or the side pocket of a purse. It can't be that comfortable to have your cell phone in your bra during the summer anyway...

Take good care,

Laurie

I cannot answer it but I can say that I have just experienced the same strange sensation in my left breast today.  Its been happening on and off all day and only lasts for a few seconds.  It feels like my cell phone is vibrating in my pocket (which it is not).

 

Anyone know what this is?
