Hi, as the title says today I’m having a blip in my anxiety and can’t seem to rationalise anything.
Currently worrying about breast lumps ( I’ve had about 5 in the past 2 week) have seen the GP and had a very good examination and she’s not concerned about anything. Told me not to check myself again and if I want she will see me in a few weeks.
Also the started me on sertaline which I upped from 25mg to 50mg 2 days ago as she suggested to take 25 for 1 week then increased to 50.
My blip today is I checked and have found yet another lump closer to my sternum could be rib/ muscle but it’s sent me into panic.
Had my mum check and she says what she feels it totally normal and I’m obsessing over normal human body as we’re not totally smooth.
Also said I was Checked 1 week ago by GP and anything would have been felt then so be reasurred by that.
Logically I probably know it’s right and need to trust the professionals but my brain is telling me to keep prodding and poking until I find somthing else and question “ maybe they didn’t feel that bit”
Just looking for some advice on how I can get this out my head
Could the increase in medication be making my anxiety spiral as it’s a new dose . Thank you
