Hello
Thank you for the query.Breast pain must be always evaluated by a doctor in early stages.Mammogram should be done in everyone who suffering from breast pain as diseases like mastitis,cysts,breast cancer are more common in women.Some times it may also be just a muscle pain due to wrong posture during sleep but still you have to rule out the other causes.Thank you.

Hello,
Thanks for posting,
According to your description, I may assume that your pain is mild. It could be a neuralgia (unknown origin) or might be an inflammation or maybe coming from your heart (possible coronary artery diseases).
You might need that your breast be examined more closely by a GP.
Given that the pain is very unspecific (not typical to any particular diseases), you will require a doctor to look through. You may take analgesia pain medication to try to relief you from the pain or antispasmodic.
hope this helps
