Well: Make sure it's the breast, we are always considering cardiac with left sided pain. It could be a number of things but try a looser bra and some aleve (naproxen) if u can take it. Any worsening go in but, if the breast, will likely be self limited.

Common but...: Breast pain is common for many reasons at all ages. It is potentially a dangerous sign but usually not. At your age with breast pain looking anything like you might imagine this woman must be experiencing, see your doctor today to be sure that it is not something worse like a heart attack. Yeast and other infections, cracked nipples , some not most breast cancer and muscle strain cause pains.
