Question : I’ve been having lower pains under my left breast. When I breathe in it worsens and only lasts for a minute. I’m only 19 and I usually don’t have them a lot. Maybe once a week. What does it sound like??

Brief Answer:
most likely muscle or ligament sprain responsible.

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to Ask A Doctor services.
I have read your query and here is my advise.

* As per my clinical experience, pain involving area under breast usually
indicate muscle or ligament sprain, which many of the times show up
during particular posture or movement and do not necessarily remain
constant.

Kindly provide me further details so that I can answer your query completely.

1. Pin - radiation if anywhere ?
2. Does ibuprofen gives relief ?
3. Any postural changes make pain worse apart from deep breathing ?
4. History of cough before onset of pain ?

Awaiting for your response.
Regards.
