Underarm chest pain may be caused by factors such as straining and pulling or women’s physiological period, or it may be caused by factors such as trauma, chest wall infection, tumors, heart or lung diseases, etc. It is necessary to consult a doctor in time to find out the cause.
1. Physiological factors: pain can be triggered when the tissues of the chest wall under the armpits are stretched due to overwork. In addition, during the physiological period of women, due to changes in the secretion level of estrogen and progesterone, it can be manifested as pain in the chest and mammary glands, and some of them may involve the armpits, which can be improved and relieved through rest and self-regulation.
2. Trauma: when the chest wall of the armpit is traumatized, congestion and edema may occur, and some of them may lead to bone damage, which may cause more obvious pain.
3. Chest wall infection: when the chest wall of the axilla is infected by bacteria or viruses, commonly boils or shingles, etc., due to obvious inflammatory changes in the tissues, or lead to intercostal nerves being involved, more obvious pain will occur.
4. Tumors: If there are breast cancer or rib tumors, they can also cause more obvious pain due to the compression or destruction of the tissues.
5. Heart or lung disease: when there is coronary heart disease, myocardial infarction or pleurisy, pneumonia and other diseases, it may also involve the chest wall in the armpit and cause pain.
After the emergence of underarm chest pain, excluding physiological factors, we should consult a doctor in time to find out the cause of the disease, and follow the doctor’s instructions to standardize the treatment.
