A member asked:

Can emotional stress cause breast pain?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Unusual: But anxiety is powerful. If you are getting breast pain it is most likely something other than emotional stress. Get it checked out. If it is emotional stress look into getting treatment for anxiety. Best wishes.
