Answer
At your age the risk of a breast cancer is very small (but not 0). A breast cancer is usually felt as a lump - though mammography and other methods (ultrasound, MRI) can catch it much earlier. If you can not feel any lump it is very unlikely that your symptoms are due to any breast cancer. I do not think that they have to do with the other things you describe either! Good luck!
