pain under and around breast

[Nanasrose]

I am 43 years old and for the past three years I have been getting these pains in my chest just under my breast down to about my belly button with backache pains from about the shoulder blades down to lower back.
They come at random times, normally I would be asleep and be woken up from them, they start of as a dull pain under my breast and then the pain moves to my stomach just about where my belly button is, then my lower back will hurt (sharp pains). I sit up for about three to fours hours in a chair just rocking back and forth, which doesn't help, its just something I do when I don't feel good, sometimes it hurts so bad I feel like I might be having a heart-attack or something. My mother is old fashioned, she said it might be gas trapped under my chest, I've never heard of that before, it sure don't feel like gas, feels like a dagger being stuck in my chest over and over again, and after a while my stomach hurts and I feel like I need to throw up or something. Does anyone have any idea what this may be? I really need some help, this has kept me up for far to many nights, and I really could use some sleep.

Hi,
I think that your mom could be right....This pain you are experiencing could be due to gastric problems, a pulled muscle or perhaps a pinched nerve.
You really need to see your doctor (preferably a  Gastroenterologist) to examine you and investigate the cause of this pain that you have for so long and that,in my opinion, it should have been addressed much earlier....
Also keep in mind that breast pain is almost never associate with breast cancer,especially if you have no alarming symptoms in the breast itself,like a lump,nipple discharge,a noticeable flattening or indentation on the breast etc...
Please make an appointment with your physician the sooner the better,so that you can  find out what's really going on.
Best wishes...
