I have a dull fairly constant pain mostly in the upper left breast and directly behind it. I also have pain in the left arm. I had a normal 24-hour monitor EKG and Stress Test EKG to rule out cardiac problems. I have anxiety attacks and currently take 50 mg. of Luvox daily. I keep thinking this pain has to be my heart.
All mammograms are normal.
The pain could be due to the weight of the breast especially if the bra size is a D or greater. Wearing a sports bra day and night, stopping all caffeine intake, and back muscle exercises for about one month may help identify if the pain is due to suspensory ligaments. If this helps, you may want to consider some resection of excess breast tissue if the pain is recurring and very bad. A plastic surgeon can tell you if removing some of the tissue is likely to help. I am 34 and I go every year for a mammogram because of my family history and my problems with my breasts.
