I've been experiencing some troubling symptoms lately. It started a couple of weeks ago...I woke up with what seemed to be a muscle pain in my upper right chest area. It lasted a few days, then went away. Now I've been having some of the typical GERD symptoms (burning armpit pain, reflux), but my right chest area is slightly swollen a lot of the time. Could this be another GERD symptom?

I am a 32 year old female, so breast cancer is also at the back of my mind, due to prominent veins on my right breast, now the swelling, etc. I've had the prominent veins for quite a while now - started noticing them after I had my kids. My right breast has always been larger than my left breast, so I don't know if it's my mind just playing tricks on me or what.
