Why Do My Breasts Feel Swollen and Sore?

Chest discomfort and pain may be related to heart diseases, and in some cases, it may also be caused by breast pathologies. When experiencing chest discomfort and pain, it is important to first undergo chest X-ray, CT, and other relevant examinations to identify the underlying causes of the discomfort. After that, appropriate treatment can be carried out to achieve satisfactory therapeutic effects in a shorter period of time.

1. We should be alert to the occurrence of heart diseases, such as myocardial infarction, angina pectoris, pericarditis, pericardial effusion, etc. This is because heart diseases often radiate to the chest, abdomen, and back.

2. It may also be caused by breast-related diseases, such as mastitis, breast cysts, breast hyperplasia, etc. Additionally, if the patient has a history of anger, it may also be due to stagnation of liver qi, resulting in chest tightness.

1. If chest discomfort and pain are caused by pulmonary issues within the chest bone, it is necessary to improve the corresponding lung CT or lung function tests to determine if there are any clinical manifestations in the lymphatic system. Based on the test results, appropriate treatments can be prescribed, such as oxygen inhalation to improve lung ventilation.

2. If the chest discomfort and pain are located outside the chest bone, it may be due to breast pathologies. In such cases, active treatment of breast diseases is necessary. If the patient has breast hyperplasia, oral administration of Chaihu Shugan San or Xiakucao Granules can be prescribed to soothe the liver, regulate qi, and reduce inflammation and nodules.
