I have sharp pains in my left breast sometimes (See details)?

Question

I am 15 years old, and sometimes I get this sharp pain that runs through my left breast. Normally, after I breathe a few times it goes away. But could it be serious?

Answer 1

You should mention it to your doctor. It could be a growing pain, shift of tissue, you know like when you get your monthly period, your breasts store fluid, it could also be a muscle cramp, maybe a problem with a rib. Do you know how to do a self breast exam? Check for any lumps like cysts, that could cause pain. Sometimes a cyst can burst and hurt alot. Do you have any blood pressure problems or fast heartbeat? Just let the dr know the next time you go in for a check up so he can just check it out.
