What Causes Pain Between The Nipple And Right Armpit?

I am an active 73 year old. At 5:00am I was awake to pee and felt a new pain deep in the muscle that runs between my nipple and right armpit. it was relatively dull and not quite debilitating. It lasted roughly a half hour. I did some deep breathing (my wife s suggestion) and that seemed to help a little. I slept-in, awaking at 9:00 am with no ill effects. Could have been my first heart attach? I do intend to see my internist Monday.

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hi there, I do suggest you see a doctor and rule out any heart related cause. it is very difficult to diagnose heart condition just from symptoms alone. Hope it turns out something benign. Thank you. Stay fit
