Breast Pain: There are a myriad of causes of breast pain. Some women experience it cyclically with their periods, but if your's is every day, you should consult with your gynecologist to see if you have some other underlying cause. Often, digestive issues cause referred pain to the chest. You would want to rule out cardiac or pulmonary pain, too, so it is best to check with your doctor.
