Hi,
The pain in your breasts and allergies are not unusual during menopause due to hormonal changes.Pain in the breasts is rarely associated with breast cancer particularly when the pain is bilateral.Many women suffer breast pain,tenderness and swelling when approaching menopause and in many cases, this will continue through and after menopause.Your breasts may feel like they did when you went through puberty and much like they did during the first trimester of pregnancy.
Avoiding foods and beverages containing caffeine,such as coffee,tea, chocolate and soft drinks,can decrease water retention and may help to alleviate the discomfort.Also wearing a good supportive bra to reduce breast movement could help.Many women with breast pain find it comfortable to also wear a supportive bra while they sleep.
If the pain still persists,you would need to see your doctor for a detailed clinical examination to find out if the pain is caused by some other underlying problem.
Also some women,when going through menopause, they may notice an increase in allergic reactions that they have never experienced before.Talk to your doctor to prescribe a medication to help alleviate your symptoms.
Best wishes....
