Brief Answer: Needs evaluation. Detailed Answer: Hi XXXX. The cause for such tingling sensation in breast can be due to so many reasons. There may be some neuropathy, nerve entrapment or some cardiac cause also needs to be ruled out. It is less likely to be due to PMS or post menstrual effect. I will advise you to see your dr. and get local examination of breast and also ECG done. Don't be too anxious and you can take neuro vitamins for the time being, containing methyl cobalamine. I hope you are not diabetic. Thanks.

Thanks doctor for your advise... I will have this examined .. I am just too stressed out thinking that it's not any symptoms of breast cancer. I have done by diabetes test 3 years ago and was not diabetic that time.

Brief Answer: No chances of Breast cancer Detailed Answer: Hi XXXXXXX thanks for writing again. Your worry I can understand. But beleive me these are not the symptoms of breast cancer.Do you have any family history of that. If yes, you can get a sonomammogram done and you will be doubly sure and a great reassurance that everything is fine and nothing to worry. If not and if no palpable lump in breast then you need not be stressed out for this thing. Your dr. will assure you after doing local examination of the breast. I would advise you to learn this and do a self examination of your breast every month after your periods. The tingling sensation may be a part of this anxiety only. You can re check the diabetic status as well . Thanks.
