Is it possible that having large breasts can cause chest pain? If so, what should I do?

sdw89
I'm 5'3" and I wear a size 38DD. I've been having pain in the center of my chest on both sides of my sternum for awhile and my breast seem heavy. I don't know what size is actually proportionate to my height, but I need to figure this out.
