Hard Vein Below Breast Down My Side, Sore During Exercising. Should I Be Concerned?
I have what seems to be a hardened vein going from about 3 inches below my right breast down my side for about 5 inches. It was slightly sore over the past week when I would stretch after exercising. It is not sore now. I am a 54 year old woman, triathlete, slightly overweight in good physical condition. I exercise at the gym 5 days a week, including swimming, cycling, running and weightlifting. Is this something I should be concerned.

Hello
Thanks for the query
Probably you have developed a thrombophlebitis.
It is inflammation of veins.
Please take an anti inflammatory tablet like combiflam.
Also do some hot fomentation.
If you dont get relief in 2 days please meet a doctor.
Let me know if you have any other doubts.
Thank you
