pain under right breast when coughing

I started getting this sharp localized pain in my lower right chest area. Right undermy right breast(I mean right where my breast ends).It is so painful. It started out just hurting when I coughed ..but now it hurts all the time. It is the worst when I sneeze, cough, breath deeply or move in certain positions.But it is a constant pain..it doesn't go away at all. Luckily I'm hardly coughing at all anymore.I'm also getting very light headed especially apon standing .What could this be?

I am suffering from exactly the same breast pain under my breast although it has spread to under my left breast as well. I am on anti biotics and since then i have the heart burn feeling as though somthing is stuck. I was up all night unable to sleep and am not sure whether to stop anti biotics or keep going please help!

There are multiple small points of sharp stabbing pain in the tissues of my breasts that hurt. The more I cough the worse it gets. This pain is NOT in my ribs, or under my ribs but in the breast tissue itself. It is extremely painful and gets worse each time I cough. Maybe something to do with arteries? (My mother experiences this as well when she has coughing fits). Why is this happening and is there anything I can do to stop it? (other than control my cough?

Thanks for thinking about this. It's not under my breasts, It's on top of and just under the surface of the skin. I'm a 36 D, so I don't think I would confuse muscle pain under my breast with surface pain? Maybe pain from the muscle is radiating through to the surface? Although I'm not really using the pecs much when coughing, am I? It's odd. Someone posted the same question here in 2012 with no answers except references to 'chest' pain, which is not the same.

Three days ago I began having pain under my right breast. As nurses we all have tried to diagnose the pain. Some suggesting lung or gallbladdar however the pain is not internal it is external (above the rib). When I am standing the pain is worse when I sit back the pain subsides. If I raise my right arm over my head and lean to the left this also feels better. What could this be?

For a couple of weeks now i've been having a burning/stinging pain under my right breast. it's really starting to annoy me but my doctor didn't seem to care when i brought it up. i figured its probably just due to the baby and uterus growing but it's only under the right one, no pain under the left. any idea why it hurts or advice to help ease the pain?

I have had a dull ache iin my right breast and underarm for about 2 weeks I have taken muscle relaxants and paracetamol which seem to help but the pain returns after several hours, It is painful on my right side when carrying a bag and a dullo ache in my breast when bending down.

I have asthma and COPD and I felt this searing pain in my right breast after huge cough and a bout of sneezing that followed.

The cartiledge and muscles in the chest have a lot of force put through them when coughing. I had soreness to the touch under the skin covering my sternum for about a week after I finished coughing with the flu. If it's sore to the touch, it's nothing to do with your heart. Repetative coughing can also pull chest muscles, to the point where it's like a stabbing pain each time you inhale.

Since last two months i have pain right below and behind my right breast, it never goes even with a gel or pain killer. It comes with coughing and sneezing or in certain lying postures or when i lift some weight. i cant figure out whether its a breast related problem or ribs? my gp has refered me to a breast clinic and chest x-ray. which one should i go for? my breasts are normal. 30 years old, married, 2 kids.

I had an upper respitory infection for a couple of weeks and the coughing was really bad!! Now I have this severe pain in upper left rib care area. Pain goes from right under the breast on left side over to my side. The doctor gave me IBprophen 800 but it is barely even touching the pain. Hurts to breath. HORRIBLE pain when I cough or sneeze. Even just sitting here it hurts, also seems to be worse laying down. Any suggestions??? Could I have cracked my rib/bruised it from coughing maybe?

Starting in July 2015 I've had tenderness on the right breast (on the inner side). Almost too sore to touch. I went to the dr and explained my symptoms and told him sometimes I feel a pain in my arm and armpit as well.. I have NO family history of cancer, no lumps. To ease my mind he ordered me a mammogram - which later found out was an ultrasound.
