Many possibilities: Type of exercise? Underwire irritation? Breast issue? Musculoskeletal? You should see a doctor to be safe. Meanwhile, make sure your bra fits/ supports well and take it easy for a few days.

Muscle sprain common: Rib dysfunction, too small bra, could contribute also. Deep breathing may help alleviate, heat pack early on also.
