sore spot on right pectoral major for 4 month's? ???

Posted , 12 users are following.

I'm 38 year old female. Back in June I noticed what I would call a sore spot on chest muscle. I spend a great deal of time with rounded shoulders looking down at phone. I don't really feel it so much if I am up moving a round. Feel it more sitting if I'm on my phone alot or in the bed I'm a side sleeper. I can feel it sometimes with a deep breath or cough. Some days I dont feel it at all. Ibeprophen takes the pain away. My chiropractor feels it from my rounded shoulders. Stretching it out helps some to. Is it normal to have chest soreness for 4 months. This is right sided and does not feel at all to have anything to do with my heart. Thanks!

    Hi, is your pain issue resolved ? I am having the same since 4 months, visited couple of specialist doctors and they say muscle pain but unfortunately not able to give the solution.

    My pain is center and right side of chest which appears when I strectch my body upward or take deep breadth or change my position while sleeping.

    Can any one help ? X ray, Ecg, kidnet test, chest infection test, thyroid test, LFT ..all of them are normal.

    VitmainD level was 29 and b12 was 69

      No not resolved . I'm going on 8 months never went to doctor only chiropractor. Mine seems to have something to do with rounded shoulders neck down position looking down at my phone to much. I'm also a side sleeper with rounded shoulders. Are these things similar with you??

    I came upon your discussion while Googling my symptoms. Very strange, I have the very same thing going on with me. How are you doing? I wondered if it was something going on with my breast. I am due for a mammogram and scared to go. I do have terrible posture and a bad neck which has been confirmed through MRI. Keep me posted.

    I've been feel the same kind of thing for months... I first began noticing mine in December and around this time my grandfather passed away and I had a health scare that turned out to be nothing. I contributed this chest pain to just anxiety and stress. Now I it's been awhile so I'm wondering what it is.. Mine is a pain between the center of my chest and my right breast(I'm a male just don't know how else to say it) just above my nipple. Sometimes I can press on the rib right there and it will cause pain others it won't. When I feel the pain it's when I move my right arm across my chest, roll over in bed, and other motions like that. Like you've said some days I feel it with every move and then I'll go a week or more where I don't feel anything regardless of what I do. I also have very poor posture( my girlfriend calls me a hunchback) and I use phone/ computers a lot. I'm also scared to go to the doctor... have you found out anything?

    I know this thread is pretty old but I have started having these same things happen to me over the past 4 months. Slight pressure on top of my.right pectoral, no coughing or shortness of breathe, not coughingnanything up. was attending google University when I

    I have been to the Dr several times, heart and vascular clinics and none have been able to help. I have had EKGs, ultrasounds, and x rays all came back normal. Blood tests done over the last few months and results were I had slightly high BP, iron deficiency and vitamin D3 levels were low. have been taking medications for 3 months now and it hasn't really helped.

    It isn't really painful, just more like a dull ache sometimes when I move the right side of my body. I can move my arm and feel it and when I try to mimic the movements to see if I can feel it again and i most of the time I can't feel it again. It isn't a constant ache. just every now and then I feel a slight pressure. its more annoying than painful.

    I also have horrible posture. always looking down at phones and computers for work. This before i started feeling it I did put up 150' of brand new fence by myself. I'm wondering if tore something.

    Has anyone found relief from this yet?
