I'm 18) no period for around 5 months (2 periods a year max), pain in breasts (sharp) and pain in armpits. what is this caused by? should i be worried?

With the menstrual history as described, it may represent polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), where ovulation is very infrequent, and sustained estrogen can stimulate breast tissue causing pain. See your GYN physician for an exam and other testing (ultrasound). Ask about low dose oral bcp's, which stop ovarian estrogen, and protect against other consequences of PCOS.
