Stress is not likely to be the direct cause of your pain. Stress can affect hormone levels, which could cause pain. If this is pain on only one side, and if it has lasted longer than one month, then you do need to make an appointment to see a doctor soon. This link to an article on breast pain will give you a chance to read some background information before you see the doctor. Breast pain is not a typical breast cancer symptom, so try not to worry; but do find out what is causing the problem.
