What Causes Muscle Pulling On Off Side Of The Breast?

The discomfort is off the side of my right breast. It feels like off and on something is pulling on a muscle (or maybe duct) . It is not a sharp pain, but it is there . The more I concentrate on it, the more often it occurs.I am an anxiety person. Any connection.?

Hi
Hope this message finds you in good health.
I have gone through your complaints and understand your concern.

I generally see many cases like this at my clinic.We generally try to find out the exact cause of such pull in that region. Then i get an mammogram and if necessary an mri done to find out the exact location of the cause.

In your case,there are 3 possibilities-
POSSIBILITY 1. Soft tissue swelling- only the soft tissues around the region might have a slight swelling that may cause a feel of muscle pull.

POSSIBILITY 2. nerve involvement- there may be a partial or complete straining of one of a nerve in that region that may cause such a feeling

POSSIBILITY 3.breast tissue,glandular involvement- there may be a blockage,swelling of glandular local tissues in the axillary tail of spence that is connected to the breast tissue.

But i assure one thing, even if it is either of the above 3,all have a good prognosis and you should eventually get back to normal in coming few days.Nothing to worry about. I suggest u to get an mammogram and a n mri done.Do get back to me after ur reports are ready.
I dont think there is any connection between ur symptoms and anxiety.
     
I hope your question has been answered.
If you have any follow-up queries,feel free to consult me anytime.
Thanks,Take care,God bless.
