What Is The Muscle Pull In The Breast?
Hi im 18 years old, about 200 pounds, 5 feet 6 inches, and admittedly, not very active. There isnt any history of heart problems in my family as far as Im aware, but some of them had cancer. This past week, Ive lost my appetite, and have had random moments of lightheadedness. Im on my period, so Im pretty sure thats what caused those symptoms. But tonight I was laying down and I felt kind of a pull in what Im pretty sure is the muscle around my left breast. I asked a friend and she said its probably just the size of them pulling weight down, but Im terrified it could be something related to my heart because of the fact I dont stay active as much as I should and I havent been feeling any weight in my other breast, and now Im afraid to go to sleep. Should I be worried?

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
At your age of 18 years, heart diseases are uncommon.
So no need to worry for major heart related diseases.
For muscle spasm related pain, do you following things for better symptomatic relief.
1. Avoid bad postures in sleep.
2. Avoid movements causing pain.
3. Avoid heavyweight lifting and strenuous exercise.
4. Apply warm water pad on affected areas.
5. Take painkiller and muscle relaxant drug.
Don't worry, you will be alright with all these.
And yes, try to loose some weight and stay fit and healthy.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
