Brief Answer:
Cholecyst problems/acid reflux/gastritis rule out

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

The pain you have in your left breast after eating is referring for possible:
- acid reflux
- cholecyst issues

The very first examinations advised include:
- abdominal ultrasound
- upper endoscopy
- chest X-ray
- complete blood count
- liver/kidney/pancreas function test

If your doctor schedule for ERCP, then, this makes me think that problems with cholecyst have been detected (sludge, inflammation or stones) that should be further investigated.

All the best!
Let me know if I can be of further help!
