You : You should probably see your family doctor just to make sure it is nothing serious. You are young and the chances of having something really bad is low especially with a negative family history. But you have to make sure.

Common problem: Fibrocystic disease/changes is very common in women. This is most often seen during the menstrual cycle. Breast feel lumpy and painful which is caused by cyst formation (fluid filled areas) due to hormonal changes. Some women may have these changes without being on their menstrual cycle. Caffeine may cuase the cysts to be overactive resulting in pain.
