Suggest Treatment For Lump In My Breast
I am 46 years old, 5'5" 160 lbs. female. I regularly exercise (running) and am in good health. I noticed a "lump" over my left breast (a little closer to my shoulder than my breast) several months ago. Recently I have also noticed "tightness" in my chest and nausea.

welcome to Health care magic.
1.The way you have explained the location it doesn't look like a breast mass, its more towards lymph nodal mass lesions.
2.Tightness in the chest and nausea - could be some URTI ( upper respiratory tract infection)
3.It can be confirmed by getting an ultrasound breast and axilla scan done to know where it is arising from and what it consists of and how it involving adjacent anatomical structures.
4. hope it helps you.
Anything to ask ? do not hesitate. Thank you.
