Question: Upper Right above the breast chest pain


 Lady - Wed Jun 22, 2005 11:17 am Bookmark and Share  

I am a 36yr old female several weeks ago I developed upper chest pain, Had Chest and lung x-rays performed and they were normal. The pain has persisited in my upper right chest above my breast sometimes immediately under the breast, pain will move to the upper back and right side of my neck. My doctor ruled out indegestion due to lack of stomach pain. I can not pin point a cause of the pain because it comes and goes at odd times of the day. Belching or anacids help on occasion but not this morning. the pain will not subside. I do not smoke tabacco but, have smoked canibis for several years, just recently quit. Canibis was used to help sleep at night, and reduce anxiety. Blood tests revealed slightly elevated cholestrol every thing else normal. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I also excersise three to four times weekly.

Hello,

From the information you have given, do you eat a high fat diet, although you say your cholesterol is slightly raised this can cause such symptoms and there are medications available if your cholesterol remains persistently elevated , there is also a condition known as cholecystitis which is inflammation and possible blockage in the gallbladder, usually associated with gallstones, you would have to see your doctor to have an ultrasound examination carried out to detect the prescence of gallstones if any. Do you have any nausea or vomiting asociated with your problem at present, again if so you will have to see your doctor for referral to the appropriate physician and or surgeon, good luck
