Pain in my chest area :(
For the last couple of nights, I've had these spells of pain that last one to two hours. It is like a radiating pain that starts in my breasts and goes down below them a few inches. At first I thought it was a horrible new form of heartburn, but then why would my breasts feel tender at the same time? They feel tender, and heavy. It also feels worse when I lay down, especially on my side, and definitely when I lay on my stomach. What seems to help is ibuprofen and massaging my sides and underneath my breasts.
The only reason why I think the pain has something to do with my breasts is that last night I remember that I had the same kind of pain for a couple of days… almost exactly a month ago. And I'm about to start my period. So maybe it has to do with my cycle. It also didn't start until I got new bras and stuff. The first time I had an episode like this, I was wearing a bra, and I thought maybe the band was too tight. However yesterday when it woke me up in the middle of the night, I hadn't been wearing a bra for hours.
If it continues I'll probably get it checked out by my GP, if it continues. It sucks and it's actually kind of scary and disruptive, because I don't know why it's happening and all I can do is wish the pain away until the ibuprofen or whatever kicks in. I'm just wondering if this has happened to anyone else

I would consider that cysts might be the problem. I once had pain similar to what you are describing and when they went in for an ultrasound, the lumps they had found burst and so problem was solved. I'm not saying it's what the problem is, but I do know that a lot of women aren't aware that stats are possible in the breasts. I know I didn't until I had them.
Yes. But I must admit I still have a hard time distinguishing pain from pain. How to know a heartburn from muscle pain or ligament pain from an infection and so on? I don't even know really. When pain is strong it's far more difficult to know what's happening.
Anyhow yes in the last summer when I started wearing 32 bands I got a terrible pain in my boobs from scoping and swooping and it was as if my boobs had some growth pain.
I even thought I was having an infection or something.
Granted my wires in 32J Andorra did poke me terribly and since I now know for sure there's breast tissue there there was no wonder. The pain did go away with 34J Andorra.
I still don't know exactly what happened at that time however but there's been some here reporting migration pain.
Also ovulation pain, not only PMS but also all the ovulation time. Very tender boobs I had.
