I have a nagging pain in my left breast. it hurts even to take a deep breath, it just started randomly. i am 53 years old.

It is most: Likely musculoskeletal. Of course, on the left, we get worried about cardiac issue. Breast cancer does not present as pain 99.9% of the time. Could be a few things but will likely resolve with aleve (naproxen) 1-2 2x per day.
