Hi,
At your age (40), pressure breasts could be due to fluctuating hormones when female is nearing
menopause, or because of an infection,
abscess,
cyst, oral contraceptives, antidepressants.
In best interest, it is wise to consult a gynecologist for a
Mammogram [to examine the breast for diagnosis and screening].
PS. Carcinoma of the breast if detected early is completely curable, particularly in postmenopausal women, and if it comes normal only thereafter lifestyle changes, alternative medicines and medications [HRT], can be discussed.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Munish Sood, Ayurveda Specialist
