Hello
I have suffered from HA for over 4 years now and its getting worse. I seem to visit my GP every couple of months with the same issue - breast lumps. I'm not even sure that I feel any lumps, its more me persuading myself that something is wrong. I get into these horrid cycles of checking for lumps over and over (several times a day), finding something unusual (well what I believe is unusual), visiting the dr who reasures me, feeling better and then 2 months later the whole thing starts again. and if I'm not worrying about breast cancer I'm worrying about lung as my mum died of it when she was young.
I feel like its taking over my life i.e. i would love to have children but fear dying young and leaving them motherless.
Anyway I'm currently having one of my panics and am determined to overcome it and not visit the dr as I feel like this sometimes feeds my fear.
I would really like some advice from anyone who has overcome HA or at least manages to keep it at bay.
Thank you for listening x
