Since your symptoms are in both breasts, it is unlikely that they are symptoms of breast cancer.  If switching to bras that let your skin breathe and using unscented products for sensitive skin, doesn't help the sore nipples, then you'll want to check with the doctor.  Breast tenderness before your period is common, but if you don't see a pattern to the tenderness that goes with your cycle, that's another sign you need to call a doctor.  Given your overall fatigue, it would probably be a good idea to schedule an appointment to find out what is going on.
