Pain from armpit to breast

I am having this strange pain on my left breast which starts at armpits and goes upto the nipple. It occurs occasionally and is very strong. I have been worrying a lot and hence contacted my GP. She gave me ibprofen initially, called me to clinic to feel and nothing unusual was found. She then gave me more of paracetamols to eat to suppress the pain, but they are certainly not helping!

I am very keen on getting a breast test for checking cancerous thoughts! How can i get one? Its really worrying me as I am just 30 and about to plan for a child

Any advice or experience will he helpful, as it is really worrying me.

  • Hello Namy

    I'm sorry to hear that you've had some concerns about your breast health. it's understandable that you're feeling anxious. 

    It's good to know that you've already seen your GP and they didn't have any immediate cause for concern but obviously as this issue hasn't been resolved it would be sensible to go back to your GP. You can discuss your concerns and ask about a referral to your local breast clinic. Hopefully, they will be able to give you some reassurance. 

    Best wishes,
