Radha Posted May 7, 2009 Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 do any of you get breast pain, just the left? i am only 32, so its not hormones, and i also have terrible chest heaviness that is always there, but the breast pain comes and goes, could this be heart related? thanks for any inputRadha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firewatcher Posted May 7, 2009 Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 I get breast pain from fibrocystic breasts, but it is in both. Just one is something that I would get checked out. Maybe you pulled something, or crazy enough...it could be your gallbladder! Do you have any lumps or tender spots? Any discharge? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broken_Shell Posted May 7, 2009 Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 Hi Radha,I had a problem about a year ago with pain in just my left breast - it became nodular and enlarged. I had a mammogram and ultrasound and mri work-up that just showed fibrocystic changes in one area of the breast. It turned out to be from the hormone medication I was on and resolved when I changed the medication. Is the pain you have in your actual breast, or is it in your chest behind the breast? The best place to start investigating would probably be with your OB/GYN. Good luck! I hope you find some answers.~ Broken_Shell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramakentesh Posted May 8, 2009 Report Share Posted May 8, 2009 Im a guy and i tend to get this as well - sort of an uncomfortable feeling and a feeling of heaviness even though I dont actually have breasts. weird eh?? Doc told me it was scar tissue. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firewatcher Posted May 8, 2009 Report Share Posted May 8, 2009 Actually, men have just about the same chest anatomy as us ladies, if given the appropriate hormones they will lactate! Until Ramakentesh's reply, I would have thought it was a woman thing, but now...Breast tissue has MANY mast cells. There is a connection between histamine and chest pain, even if you don't have MCAD. Yet another mystery to unravel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radha Posted May 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2009 i dont have any discharge or lumps and no new medications, i am only 32, so not menopause! yes i do get pain behind the breast but also in the breast itself sometimes, but it comes and goes so it cant be that serious...........and i am not able to go for a mammogram, cannot even leave my home at all, so many things i wish i could understand and have an explanation for! thanks for your replies and if you have any idea what might be causing it, please let me know, thanksradha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nauthiz Posted May 10, 2009 Report Share Posted May 10, 2009 i have left chest pain all the time, im a guy though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkoven Posted May 10, 2009 Report Share Posted May 10, 2009 I get this too. My pec muscles, esp pec minor are all knotted up. I wonder if it's sort of like coat hanger pain--our organs are stealing all the blood, so neighboring muscles are deprived. I initially thought it was angina. It is worse when the ans stuff is worse. it has responded somewhat though to deep tissue massage. but it feels like its proximity to the heart is no accident, even if in the end it's muscle/myofascial.
