htmASKTHEDOCsorenessbreastmale
Soreness in the breasts or chest can be caused by any number of different conditions. Leading causes would be pain from the chest muscles or from inflammation of the ribs or chest wall. However, pain that happens only with exercise or that is linked to shortness of breath or a sense of heaviness might be more worrisome. It could point to a heart or lung condition.

Answered questions from the past 2 years:

y 13-year-old daughter has been diagnosed with a hemangioma. It looks like a wart, and about the size of a pencil eraser. It’s just above her left armpit on her shoulder. What would cause this to happen? Is there anything we should be concerned with? Should it be removed — or will it go away on its own?

My six-month-old daughter started to have seizures. She had 3 on Thursday, 20-30 on Friday, 2 on Saturday and none since then. All she does is stop, roll her eyes to the back of her head and then cry. We are waiting on the results of an EEG. But can you give us more information on what could be happening and why?

I recently had a severe reaction to amoxicillin. I had to go to the hospital, where I was given Benadryl and cortisone through an IV. My doctor tells me that I now have "serum sickness." I have joint pain, fatigue and headaches. What exactly is “serum sickness?”

Recently I’ve been staying up until 3 or 4 in the morning to work on my oil paintings. I know I should feel tired, but I don’t. One of my friends said that I might be hypomanic. What is that?
March 28, 2013
.
I was not able to pass urine after having a pacemaker put in. I was sent home with catheter attached to a bag. I have a follow-up appointment with the urologist. What if I still can’t pass urine after the catheter is removed? I’d prefer not to have surgery. What are my options?

I have a couple of broken ribs. The pain is so bad that I can hardly move. I can’t sleep at night and I can’t take a deep breath. Is there anything I can do to help my ribs heal quickly or ease the pain? I’ve been told that there isn’t really anything that can be done for this.
March 25, 2013
.
What exercises are considered 'low impact?' Are there different guidelines for low impact exercises for teens than for adults?
March 22, 2013
.
I am a 66-year-old woman. I walk three miles five or six times a week. And I swim for half an hour every day. My HDL cholesterol level is usually over 100, but it was up to 127 in my most recent cholesterol test. My total cholesterol was 215 and my LDL was 68. Should I be celebrating or worried about an unusually high HDL?
