What Causes Pain In Front Of The Crease Of Armpit?

Hi, I am experiencing pain just in front of the cress of your arm pit. It feels like my something is poking and pulling on it. What could it be and is it serious? I had a heart attack last May, however, just got a full clearance from my doctor. Could I have pulled a muscle in my pectoral area?

No need to worry for heart related pain as your heart reports are normal.
Yes, possibility of musculoskeletal pain due to pulled muscle is more likely in your case.
So follow these steps for better symptomatic relief in musculoskeletal pain.
