So, wondering if anyone has had a similar issue to this...
If I sniff hard I can get a sharp pain in the lower right side of my chest. I also often feel achy under the front part of my armpit and down the side of my breast.
Last year I went to the GP for a similar problem. Not the sniff/pain thing but that I ached. He examined me and thought that my right breast felt slightly different to my left and I was booked in the hospital for a scan and also a chest x-Ray. Both came back clear and no problems so there was really no explanation. They said the slight difference in the feel of both breasts was probably linked to my cycle.
So now I'm thinking do I bother going back down for another check? I have mentioned to my GP that after some miserable life events I am more anxious so it's not that they don't understand. I just don't want to waste time. They usually listen to my chest and say it sounds fine.
Could it be a pulled muscle that never gets the chance to "heal"? It sounds silly but this is the arm I use to throw my dog's ball as far as possible so I wonder if it's just I've overdone it??
I don't get breathless, and can go running with no pain. I do have hay fever symptoms, and I used to have asthma. My big anxiety is always that I have cancer. I am a smoker but have cut down to none, or one, a day (more if I am at the pub!)
Any ideas? It's been like it a little while. I usually try and rationalise my way out of things, but this has been like it for a little while.
