What Causes Short Stabbing Pain Intermittently In My Left Breast?
last week while at work I experienced 3-4 short stabbing type of painful moments in my left breast. Yesterday at work I experienced this again at work but only one time, it hurts at the time and is very scary. I am a 59 year old white female; I am being treated for high blood pressure ( have for years) also on depression medicine for almost one year. I am otherwise healthy though I need to lose weight and eat healthier. Your opinion please?

Hello,
You have to confirm the pain in the breast or cardiac pain. First, you may get checked for blood pressure, ECG if it is normal then get breast examination is done.
If necessary get mammogram, if symptoms not improved please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
