What Causes Pain From Armpit To Chest?
Hi Samuel, I had the flu back on the 5th of may, had two rounds of antibiotics, said I had broncitis. Finally starting to feel better now but still coughing up mucus daily in the mornings. More now is last week I started getting sore from my armpit to my lower rib cage (feels like a pulled muscle) but now it s pretty much feeling like from my armpit down and across to the middle of my chest on one side only. Is it worth going back a third time to my GP? We fly out to Fiji this Friday so I really not want it to be anything serious! thanks Deidre

hi,
thank you for providing the brief history of you.
as you are having cough and bronchitis, I will Advice you to take nebulization and also perform some regular breathing exercises. this will help the lung heal and the muscular pain occuring will stop
In my clinical practice most cases respond well to breathing exercises and nebulization.
