I am a 27 year old femal. I have been expierencing chest pain under my left breast and it goes around the middle of my breast and sometimes to my left arm. I have been to the emergency room and I have seen my doctor many times they have given me xrays and they have done ekg's alot of them and they have told me that nothing is wrong that it is either stress or anxiety attacks but i dont think its either one. My chest hurts constantly and the pain wont go away it feels like pressure when i move a certain way or if i sleep on my left side. If i take deep breaths it also hurts. Like i said its more of a pressure than a pain all this started a few months after i had my gallbladder removed and i have been having pain since i dont know if they are related but i really need help it has been worring me. If you htink you know what i could be please let me know thanks.
Q: I have been having pain in the middle of my chest associated with pressure
If issues with your heart have been thoroughly examined and your heart is healthy, what you describe sounds similar to costochondritis - click here for more information to see if it fits. There's a list of symptoms, causes and suggestions for meds like NSAIDs and musclerelaxants. If this sounds like what you're experiencing, you may want to print out the information and bring it to your doctor and ask for e.g., a prescription for muscle relaxants. You may also try gentle yoga or meditation.
