Pulling sensation in left breast - Should I see a doctor immediately or see whether it goes away?

September 22, 2021
Asked By:ilz777 in Mgarr, Malta

I've undergone a BA (under muscle) 14 yrs ago and I'm feeling a very slight, painless, internal pulling sensation in my left breast upon breathing. I'm currently taking IVF medication, and I'm aware such meds can cause breast and/or nipple sensitivity, however I have no sensitivity, so not sure whether it's related at all. I can lift and move my arms around freely. Should I see a doctor immediately, or wait a couple of days and see whether it goes away?
