What Causes Chest Pain In A Person With Saline Breast Implants?

How should I proceed in finding out if I have problems with 18 year old saline breast implants? About 3 weeks ago I had a cough that, I thought, caused pain in my chest. It is better with pain meds but still hurts and is more localized to the side of my right breast.
