What Causes Pain Under Arm Upon Coughing?

I woke up this morning with a very sore to the touch area under my left arm beside my breast. Suspected pleurisy and have been drinking water all day. It really hurts if I cough and I can feel it when I take a deep breath. It is tender to the touch but doesn t feel warm to me

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello,

I think that it can be lymph nodes under the skin causing the pain and told should get physically evaluated by the doctor. Do also a total blood count with formula.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
