Hi, I am a 59 year old male that has experienced a sharp stinging feeling, not pain, on my left breast about an inch above my nipple. Its not a deep feeling, just below the surface whicChatDoctores and goes about 3 or 4 times within the day. It began about one week ago. Need to worry?
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Since you are having left sided chest discomfort, better to first rule out heart diseases in your case. At your age of 59 years (post menopausal age), women are prone for heart diseases because of low estrogen and progesterone. So first get done ECG, 2d echo and stress test (trade mill test). If all these are normal then no need to worry about heart diseases. Sometimes stress and anxiety can also cause similar kind of chest discomfort. So avoid stress and tension, be relaxed and calm if you are having stressful life. Don't worry, you will be alright. But first rule out heart diseases. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
