What Causes Throbbing Pain In Chest?

Above my left breast, about an inch below my collar bone I'm guessing It's my chest mussel, I feel a kind of throbbing pain and it's sore when I touch it. There is kind of a bulge it's not really shaped buldge it's just a bulge, could this be a pulled chest mussel?

Hi,

Injury, trauma and heavy exercise can lead muscle strain and these history should be ruled out. For musculoskeletal pain ibuprofen drug can be prescribed for five days.

Warm compress is useful. Avoid strenuous work and activity. Take rest. Take proper sleep posture. If pain is severe and throbbing nature (as you are explaining) than abscess has to be ruled out for which antibiotic course needed Take care Consult physician for examination and according to examination further management plan decided in your case.

Hope your concern is solved. Let me know if I can assist you further.
