what could be causing pain under left breast through chest and back?

Question

it hurts in my chest all the way through to my back. its not constant but comes and goes and just lasts a few seconds at a time. been going on for about week now. very uncomfortable

Answer 1

No, gallbladder is the right side. Perhaps: ou may have a rib or thoracic (mid back) vertebra out of place. When a bone in the mid back is out of place or is not moving properly it is common to have pain in that area. It is also common to have pain that is similar to heart problems. What you have to understand is that the nerves that come out of that area of your spine go to many of the organs in your chest. They help these organs function as well as help sense pain in these same areas. If there is pressure on one of these nerves it can cause pain similar to what you have described. I recommend seeing a chiropractor to have your chest and spine evaluated. Once the cause has been determined it will be possible to treat your condition and get rid of your pain.

Answer 2

If it were me I would see a chiropractor and a massage therapist -
the chiropractor to make sure very thing is aligned properly and the massage to help get the muscles that are tight to loosen up.

There is a book called The Tigger Point Therapy Workbook by Davies that explains about the muscles having knots in the fibers called trigger points, putting pressure on nerves, causing pain. It also teaches what to do to fix them yourself.

Answer 3

Could be a pulled latissimus muscle.(specifically the left one)
Or a cracked rib.(which happens to most people from sneezing...)

But I want to impress upon you that for women, back pain is the more common symptom of a heart attack.(rather than chest pain) It's one of the reasons they get less treatment for heart attacks than men - because it doesn't seem like it should be it.

You might want to get that looked at. Especially if its very painful, you feel like it is draining your energy away and it is making you short of breath you should get yourself to a hospital. Early treatment can save your heart muscle.

Answer 4

that's where the stomach is so maybe u have problems digesting food or maybe ur stomach is producing too much acid. If it feel like that kind of pain then u should get ur gallbladder checked out, if tho the gallbladder is on the right side, it can cause pain in ur stomach. or get check for ulcers. If its a painful kind of pain like when u breathe then maybe u have a bruised rib...

Answer 5

Possibly acid reflux or heartburn, especially if you like to eat tomato-based foods, and/or a lot of dairy products. I suggest that you set an appt with your doc to rule out acid reflux, which can be worse over the long term if untreated.

Answer 6

Gallbladder?

Answer 7

Gas.

Answer 8
