Why do I keep getting sharp pains under my left breast?

Question

Every now and then i get a sharp pain right under my breast. It hurts so bad somtimes its hard for me to breath. What should I do?

Answer 1

Go to the doctor!

Answer 2

There are several things that it could be, but I would definitely get it checked out with your doctor. It sounds like it is plueritic in nature, meaning that there is a possiblity it is lung related, and an inflammatory process. However, it could be something very serious. I wouldn't put it off, nonetheless. The faster you get an accurate diagnosis to such things, the better chance you have of beating whatever it may be.

God bless!

Answer 3

Chealsea, a "sharp" pain is usually not a symptom of heart trouble but you should get it checked out. It may be that your bra is iratating a nerve and causing the pain. A constant pressure can do strange things.
Good luck. Pops

Answer 4

That looks like pleurisy, that's difficulty with the lubricant between your lungs and your chest wall. This usually resolves with the help of itself yet can become a bad an infection. as long as you do not have a fever, difficulty respiration (different than the fast stabbing soreness in the comparable area) or flu-like indications i does no longer be too in touch.

Answer 5

Answer 6

Take slow breath's when you get those. Don't be afraid to breath ok?
