my girlfriend has been experiencing sharp pains in her chest and on the top of her left breast.  The pain has also spread to her left arm and is creating numbness all the way into her hand.  She also has a lump in her breast as well.  She is going to get it checked out tomorrow but the apt maybe cancelled because of a huge storm.  So we are obviously nervous.  Please help
Hi welcome to the Chat Doctor According to history she is having left side chest pain and radiating towards arm... Hence, ischemic heart disease or angina like problem needs to be ruled out first... For that EKG investigation needs to be done along with troponin estimation if needed Second is no cardiac cause found then no need too much worry For lump in breast investigation needed with FNAC to rule out nature of lesion According to cause management plan decided So consult physician or any general practitioner if available for examination and EKG Take care Hope your concern solved
