welcome to HCM
I read your concern deeply.
_Most likely you have cyclic breast pain. This pain coused by the monthely changes in hormones which occurred usually in both breast radiate to armbit. This pain is usually most sever before menstrual period.
_other types of breast pain are not cyclic, may be caused by fibroadenoma or cyst.
_Breast pain can get worse with change in the medicine you are taking. Stress can also affect breast pain .
_For reassurance you can do breast ultrasound or mammogram.
Thanks
