What Causes Severe Pain Around Underarm Area?
Hello. I m a 20 year old male. I have this weird pain around my underarm area (my right side). Yesterday it was my left side...but now it s the right side. It s like the feeling that I get when my legs are asleep (except it hurts more). And my heart feels a little weird as well. I don t feel comfortable. It feels like I m nervous (but I m not!). My underarm pain comes and goes though. Is this something serious? My clinic is closed.

Hello,
Your symptoms are suggestive of anxiety. Anyway, I recommend checking blood electrolytes and inflammation tests (complete blood count, PCR, ESR). It is also necessary checking thyroid hormone levels, vitamin D and vitamin B12 plasma levels for possible deficiency.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
