I've been experiencing some pain under my armpit and on the left side of my chest. I checked my armpit, and it's not swollen, but sometimes it feels like it's burning or being slashed by a fireblade, making it super sensitive to any touch. As for the pain in my left chest, it only hurts a little when I take a deep breath. I'm wondering if this is something I should be concerned about?

While the pain you're experiencing might be muscular or nerve-related, its always important to err on the side of caution, especially when chest pain is involved. If the symptoms persist or worsen, I strongly recommend seeing a doctor and get scans done for an evaluation to rule out any serious conditions.
