What Causes Nipples To Go Purple And Have Chest Pain?

Hi, I am a female 17 years old. I have pain in my chest and by my ribs. When getting dressed I notices my nipples were purple but would go back to normal. It has been doing this randomly today. Note: I am not sexually active but on the birth control pill. I've been on the pill for almost a year and this is the first time it has happened. What should i do?

Hi thanks for contacting HCM....

Nipple darkness can be from pregnancy . But as you are using no issue of pregnancy ...

Here you have chest pain and rib pain...
If ribs tender to touch you might have costochondritis leads pain....It is simple musculoskeletal pain...
Take analgesic for that ...
Avoid bad sleep posture ...
Warm compress can be applied .
Avoid strenous work ...
Brufen like antiinflammatory drug given for five days .
Mostly you will recover in few days ...

If still pain not decreased investigate with chest x ray and ECG ....for further work up...

Consult physician for examination with keeping my answer in mind ....

Hope your concern solved ...
