A member asked:

I am 55 years old and have this cramping under my left breast, i have high colesterol and hypertension. my hypertension is under control.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Chest pain: The "cramping" under your left breast could be angina (pain originating from the heart). Hypertension and high cholesterol are risk factors for heart disease. Please see a doctor as soon as possible to get this checked out.
