chest pain - (pronounced) (breast fee) Pain or discomfort in one or both breasts. The pain can be mild or severe and can affect an area of the chest or the whole chest, including under the arm. It can also come from nearby muscles or joints outside the chest. Breast pain in women is most commonly caused by hormonal changes before and during the menstrual cycle. It may also be unrelated to the menstrual cycle, to causes such as pregnancy, breastfeeding, smoking, too much caffeine or fat in the diet, certain medications, breast surgery, injuries to the breast or chest wall, or certain breast conditions. It is rarely caused by breast cancer. Chest pain can occur in both women and men. Also called mastalgia
