Would a mamagram show if you have a lung problem

Q: Fam history breast cx. pat.gmother 1st dx@24yo. im 29. q?:ive very flat chest, <34a, &found lg lump in l brst. how mammogram done on such flat chest? ouch!

an ultrasound may be a better diagnostic imaging for you than mammogram. If lump is new, not cystic, substantial in size, a needle biopsy may be warranted no matter what mammogram shows. If your grandmother is still living she should have genetic testing (BRCA) to help determine risk of her progeny.

Q: I had shingles this past june,it went away but i still have this really small rash on top of my chest where the shingles was,im supposed to get my yearly mammogram fri,since the rash is near my breast i thought i should get it done.is it shingles?

This may be discoloration of the skin (called hyperpigmentation) at the site of the lesions from your previous shingles. Ask your PCP about this, to be sure.

Q: I have alot of breast pain on mammogram a large lymph node was found could that cause such pain i can't even touch my chest plus have chest pain?

Hi. You need to go to a breast clinic. You may need a biopsy of the lymph node and any other suspicious mass. The pain may be an abscess, which would need to be incised and drained. The internet is no place for this problem. You need a hands on physician. Good luck!

Q: I had a mammogram 2 days ago.since then i have felt short of breath and chest pain.can a mammogram cause damage to my heart?i must see a cardiologist?

A mammogram does not affect the heart, because the breast is on the outside of the chest, the heart is on the inside of the chest, and the x-ray is not taken through the chest. A patient can contact her primary care doctor, if she coincidentally has some symptoms appearing after getting a mammogram.
