Pain in breast

Asked for Female, 36 years

Salam. My cousin has pain in her breast and all around the breast. Pain going to the arms and shoulders as well. She has pain in the back exactly at the breast side(left one). She has no lump, she was thinking about heart problem but that is ok. Drs said that it is muscular pain but she said that she has pain all the time when she lay down, can't breathe properly. She is scared of breast cancer. Plz suggest what to do (she also has stomach & gastric issues)

Dear Patient,

I'm sorry to hear this. Is she breastfeeding her child? Is the breast sore? Is there any family history of breast cancer? Is the nipple oozing any fluid?
Breast cancer is 'usually' painless. Difficulty in breathing esp related to posture does indicate a muscular issue actually. But
Kindly answer these queries so we can guide you. Alternatively, visit a female surgeon so she can test and guide her.
