Suggest Treatment For Chest Pain While Taking Deep Breaths
I've been having sharp pain on my left breast near my armpit. I 1st experienced it this afternoon and it was difficult for me to breath normally. I took shallow breaths until I was able to get in some good breaths. The pain started again about 30 minutes ago. Now it hurts when I try to take a deep breath.
