One of the symptoms and signs of PMS is breast pain. A little bit of breast heaviness/ tenderness is very normal, similar to the way you have bloating, just before your periods, during your periods, the initial few years of your teenage life is normal. But if you see a lump in your breast, any skin change or discharge from your nipples these are not normal. If you are facing excessive pain where you have to take medicine for that pain then you should definitely consult your gynaecologist because it is not normal.
