I woke up during the night with pain in my left arm and left upper chest. This morning, the pain is concentrated in my left upper chest. I took ibuprofen and the pain seems better, but I can't take a deep breath without pain. I'm thinking it's muscle strain due to a mammogram on Friday and moving books yesterday. I want to make sure it isn't signs of a heart attack. I have asthma and took Advair earlier for shortness of breath. My pulse is between 61-66 when sitting, and my oxygenation rate is 97%.
