Brief Answer:
Ultrasound is a good idea.

Detailed Answer:
Hello!

Thank you for the query.

Such symptoms can be period related. Prolactine elevated level can also give such symptoms. So would not suspect a cancer with such symptoms.
But you should, just as a precaution, have breasts ultrasound done. You should also check your Prolactine level if the symptoms wont go away.

Hope this helps.
Regards.
