See your Dr.: It could be something benign like a pulled muscle in your chest wall or something more severe like blood clots in your lung. You need to follow up with your obtetrics Dr or a GP. Post operative blood clots can form that can then travel to your lungs causing pain in the chest region. It is vital that you are examined thoroughly in order to determine what the underlying cause of your pain is.

Hello, I have had severe pain under my left breast for the last 3 weeks. Worsens when I cough, inhale deeply, and sneeze. That is my only symptom. I do not have a consistent cough or fever, or no shortness of breath. Im wondering if this is pleurisy?
