What Causes Twinges Behind Left Breast Radiating To The Back?

I have been haviaving twinges or something simiilar to being hooked up to the electric current after being at the chiropractor- no pain and its during normal activity behind my left breast that radiates to my back right around the bottm of my shoulder blade- again on my left side. A little concerning to me, but I am wondering if it might just be a muslce knot in my back that is spasming??

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Yes, possibility of muscular spasm is more.
But since it is left sided chest pain associated with left shoulder and arm, better to first rule out cardiac cause for this.
So get done ecg and 2d echo.
If both these are normal then no need to worry for cardiac causes.
Muscular spasm is likely in your case.
So avoid heavyweight lifting and strenuous exercise.
Avoid bad postures in sleep. Avoid movements causing pain.
Take muscle relaxant tablet. Apply warm water pad on affected areas. Gentle massage over involved region can also be helpful.
Don't worry, you will be alright.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
