Chest pain?!

Chest pain?

Sudden stabbing pain under armpit, started to slowly go away after 5 days. Now does not hurt but only if I press on the spot where the pain initially came from. If I were you were my doctor, what would you say?

mutan thanks for answer, not a test, it is a real condition i have been having, got me a little worried.

I'm no doctor. From what you say I would suspect it was a lymph node reacting to an infection. But again, I ain't no doctor!

Lymph nodes are located under your arms. Typically they will swell and become a hard knot if they are reacting to an infection. They are also located under your jaw and in your groin. I've had single lymph nodes become sore from time to time and they hurt like - well.

I watch the ticker section - have heart problems and think I might be able to keep someone from waiting too long to get checked.

If you are worried about heart problems, what your talking about doesn't sound like ticker to me but I ain't no doctor! I've included a link to the American Heart Association symptoms of a heart attack. Even if your not having one, it's good to know. If you look at my answers you will see several posts that sounded like they were having real problems. I

It's far far better to get your ticker checked, be embarrassed and find out it's nothing than not to and find out that it was ( if you live long enough).

Regards.
