I get lumpy and achy boobs right before my period, but it's always been like that. PM is like estrogen, so this sounds pretty normal. Like lotus said, it's not much to worry about.
PM is not inherently dangerous, but you be sure you know where you are hormonally and whether you need it. Some women do not need PM.
What does your program look like?
Do you know if you are estrogen dominant? PM can exacerbate that condition without progesterone to balance it.
Do you drink coffee or caffeinated drinks by any chance? Coffee is associated with fibrocystic breasts and some swear it can inhibit breast growth. Tea may be OK.
