Heaviness on left side like i m carrying a toddler on my hip, when doing activities, pain and swelling under lest arm pit. Shooting pain from upper left shoulder that radiates to my chest wall. Chest Wall pain but CT shows no issues with my heart.

Hello,

You will need a good examination of your breasts with your doctor and possibly an ultrasound to rule out masses or lesions in the breast. Checking the armpits is important while doing breast exam as many times armpits are affected with breast lumps.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
