Answer
At you age your risk of any breast cancer is very small (but not 0). Since you can not feel any lump in your breasts it is most unlikely that these symptoms have anything to do with breast cancer. I doubt very much that any of the things you mention can cause these problems. Sorry, I have had some computer problems so my reply is delayed!
