What Causes Pain In Left Breast And Absent Periods?
I have been having an aching in my left breast, I am female, I think I am in menopause, it s been 7 months since I ve had a period, I am 51, but I smoke occasionally too, could this be menopause, or could it be a lung issue, or my heart? I m kind of freaking out.

Hello,
It is quite common around this age group. It is due to minor hormonal changes and will settle by itself. As of now, you can take drugs like mefenamic acid for pain relief.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
