Dreadful few days with health anxiety..
Over the last 3 weeks i’ve had a few minor illnesses and stomach upsets/pains and fatigue etc. I put it down to moving house. I’ve also lost about 7-8lbs in 2 weeks which again, I put down to moving as i’ve been doing lots of lifting boxes and cleaning etc. I’m 3 stone overweight so that’s not necessary a bad thing!!
However, I was experiencing dizziness a few days ago and have had really sensitive teeth. For some reason I checked my neck glands and discovered a new lump on the bone directly behind my ear. The lump is very hard, fixed and about 1cm in size. Panic has set in. I’m fully aware new lumps are always a cause for concern but along with all other recent symptoms, my mind has gone into overdrive. I have cried, I have googled (terrible idea I know!), and I’m so scared. I know I have to see a doctor and will do next week but I’m wondering if anyone else have had hard lumps behind the ear and fixed on the bone that have not been anything sinister? I have convinced myself the sensitive teeth, feelings of dizziness and all other recent symptoms are because of some tumour growing. Terrified.
