Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have tightness in left breast and inflammation on left armpit. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like lymph node swelling , breast cancer , allergy or angina . I would suggest you to consult general practitioner for proper examination . Doctor will examine physically , take history , order mammogram along with blood test . Doctor may refer you to cardiologist for problem like angina or to radiologist for radiation therapy in case of breast cancer . Doctor may also prescribe antibiotics along with anti inflammatory . For now take proper rest , apply warm compresses to underarms and take ibuprofen or acetaminophen for pain .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
