Chest pain

[Scramunkel]

I have a pain that starts under my right armpit and spreads across my chest - what could cause thhis?

First rule out the serious stuff, go see a doctor and get a EKG scheuduled. If that comes out clean, then it could be either a pulled muscle, a pinched nerve, teiztes syndrome or costocondritis. Chest pain could mean a list of things, but don't automatically assume it's life-threatening, just go see a doctor.

may be pec muscle spasm/tightness. usuallly postural or from overuse-- check out upper crossed syndrome. the fix is myofascial release of the muscle and doorway stretches 5-10 x per day.. stretch the chest if it is muscular
