General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,

Your symptoms might be a sign of pregnancy if you have been sexually active and had unprotected sex. If not sexually active, I advise to take a pregnancy test. If still negative for pregnancy, your symptoms are due to hormonal changes for incoming periods.

Keep in touch with your OG. Take analgesic drugs to ease your soreness. Apply alternating cold and warm compresses to your breasts.
