    is it painful? do you think it hurts your benching? is it only when you bench or when you lay down all the time? if its really disturbing, i would go to the doctor, especially if it is painful.
    if youre just worried about the balance issue, but its not that bad, maybe try to do a more balanced back routine, or try to lower weight in your bench to get used to it... hope this helps, but ive never personally experienced that, so im not sure what to say.

    Where are you feet positioned when you are benching? Also do you feel your left pec is equal in strength to your right one? You may be over compensating with your entire back to lift the weight, I know a guy who use to do this.

    Always happens to me when i'm lifting light weight. When I load some decent stuff on the bar and worry about my positiong more problem seems to go away. Make sure the bench itself is level on the ground as well.
