Hi i am Dr Ahmed Aly
thanks for using HealthcareMagic site ,
I had gone through your question and understand your concerns ..
In my opinion it could be muscular spasm , costochondritis or a neurological fits or reflexes usually it happens with electrolyte imbalance or any of it's constituents like iron , calcium , magnesium and potassium .
In most of the cases nutrient supplements containing multivitamins and some relaxation will be helpful . In more severe or chronic cases muscle relaxants and anti-epileptics are prescribed .try to enrich your meals with milk , bananas and other natural supplements as a begining and avoid drinking or smoking .
If these fits or spasm i recommend further lab investigations and EMG and follow them up with your neurologist for proper evaluation . you could have an MRI scan to exclude any kind of masses or lumps in your breasts .
