What Causes Sharp Pain Under Breast While Coughing Or Sneezing?
I am experiencing sharp sore pain under breast on right side. Sore and hurts when I cough, sneeze, breath deep. I have used heating pad and ibuprofen for past 3 days. I have been moving and may have experienced a tear perhaps. Have had a mammogram within year.

Hi there.
It could be some sort of muscle strain in that area due to bad posture at work or sleep. Follow ergonomics at work. You can apply hot water bottle at the painful area. Take pain killer like Tab. Ibuprofen 200mg twice a day over a meal for about 5 days.
