Hi all, I am new to this site, I hope someone can relate to my health anxiety.
It started about 4 weeks ago when I found a lump in my boob, well it went down when i came on my period, so obviously hormonal well that should have been the end of it but that was just the beginning. I went into overdrive checking every part of my boobs inspecting them in different lights,different angles etc anyway started convincing myself that one boob felt different to the other got myself in a right state but decided to go to the Dr, anyway went along a male doctor examined me and said it was all normal breast tissue, what a relief, oh no that was fine for that day next day got myself in a state all over again, called NHS direct spoke to lovely nurse explain my boob worries, she said everything I had said was completely normal and to put my hands in my pockets for a while, that's what I should have done but no still in a state of panic. Anyway called my doctor as Ifound small pinkish mark, probably always been there, i know I have had it before , but still couldn't rationalise, anyway my doctor said there would be a lump under any skin issue and there isn't also to increase my prozac up to 40mg well Idid that and went iinto anxiety melt down over Xmas worried about small mark , one boob bigger than the other, one firmer than the other etc. Anyway iI was hoping someone would reply who has been through similar situation, many thanks Herbiexx
