Pain In Left Breast Area...??

I was just wondering if I could get any medical input on my situation.
I am an overall healthy person as far as I know.. but I get these weird pains that kinda scare me.
The pain is always on my left side, in the breast area. People say your heart is on your left as well, so I am wondering if this has to do with my heart.
I get sharp pains on the left side of my left breast, that go into my armpit.
I also get pains right underneath my left breast.
They are sharp pains, but usually quick and go away within a few seconds, but come multiple times a day.
If there is any more information that I should add, please let me know so that I can do that.. I would love to have some sort of idea of what my problem could be! Thank you

I had this about 6 months ago and went through all sorts of tests and ultrasounds and finally was referred to a specialist. The specialist couldn't tell me anything either, he referred me to a physical therapist. She realized that it was a muscle that had wrapped around a rib, and we figured out that it was from answering the phone at work. I work in a pharmacy and our phone is way off to the left and just that movement all day I had so much pain. There were also times that I was red and swollen, some times really warm. I did physical therapy for about 6 weeks twice a week and it has been a lot better! Hope this helps! Good luck

I've seen something on this by googling the symptom, but can't remember what it is.  If you are worried it is your heart, it  is not too complicated to get an EKG, but the article I saw didn't say it was a heart thing.  More like a muscle thing.  Sorry I can't remember more.
