Please I need urgent help from u my friends
First I have been having strange feeling under my armpit for a year now. Sometimes it's pain, other time it's just a heavy feeling .. The pain sometimes affect my left breast and heart area and my left arm feels heavy and uncomfortable .. In addition to dizziness and a whole host of other symptoms ( will list it if u think this is necessary )

Two EKG were normal and I did mammogram thinking of breast cancer and was normal a year ago( will repeat it again soon )

My question is: did u experience such strange feeling in your left armpit area and heart area ? Especially the uncomfortable feeling in left arm and armpit ( similar to feeling when u wear tight bra under ur armpit)

Is this Lyme or coinfection .. Which one ??

I am seeing cardiologist next week so what test I should ask for as Lyme patient ?

I need the most accurate, least expensive one cause I am on limited budget ?

What should I ask him to do in order to rule out carditis ..How can he rule out this ..which is something I am very scared of? Should I see different specialty for my case ?

MY llmd scared me to death more because he said its unusual symptoms with his patients ? Does that mean he is not educated enough ?

I don't know, abenewhere1

Noone knows everything, and I love when doctors admit they don't know, cuz it means I can trust them when they seem confident.

Maybe ask the cardiologist how you can rule out carditis.

Keep us posted, let us know what happens and how you feel.

Best of luck.

I had some symptoms in my arm pit before, can't remember how long they lasted but it was for awhile. It scared me at first but then I just wrote it off as being part of what was wrong with me. Met took 15 yrs to get diagnosed.

To me it sounds like a heart issue. Sorry to say so, but that's just what the symptoms seem to be indicating. Keep investigating; don't give up regardless of test results. Doctors rely too much on tests. There are other heart tests you can do.

I read this again. EKG isn't enough, and can't rule out heart attacks. There are a lot of tests you can do for the heart.

abenewhere1—

Do you feel any lumps under your armpit—you have a lot of lymph nodes under there. I often have sore armpits but it's swollen glands.

No matter what have it checked out thoroughly. I have pain in my left armpit for about 12 years. Turns out (for me) it was breast tissue causing it. Do you notice it changes based on hormones?

I have cysts in my beasts and armpits that get big and then shrink all the time. They feel very deep. I can feel them way inside of me when i breath deeply and move certsin ways. It can be so painful I don't want to wear clothes or move my arms. Laying down in bed can be really painful.

I have lyme disease and I have breast pain and armpit pain. Had a sonogram that didn't show anything. Gyno said it is most likely inflammation. I have Dr. Horowitz's Book and in that he claims breast pain is part of Lyme disease. I am also concerned but have no idea if I should keep pushing for answers.
