Hi, I'm having a lot of anxiety right now and I'm hoping someone could either give me advice or listen to my ramble. I don't usually check my breasts specifically for lumps but one a week I check for any breakouts or eczema flare up and I usually check for lumps then as well. This morning I was doing my usual check when I found a lump in my right breast, and I had a panic attack there and then. There are no other changes at all, both breasts look the same as they did when I had my first period, obviously they have changed as I got older but not by that much.
Obviously this is quite worrying to me and I have everything crossed it's nothing bad. It's quite hard to find the lump and it takes me quite a while to find it again. It's like it's connected to tissue but I'm able to move it a tiny bit. I was actually going to try and forget about it but I know I need to get it checked even if it's for peace of mind. I should also add that I tend to feel a sharp pain in that area whenever I am on my period (which I am on now). I don't know if my post makes sense but I just feel the need to ramble about everything that's happened. I wasn't actually going to tell anyone and figure this out on my own, but I did tell my boyfriend so I don't feel as alone now.
Any comments are appreciated, I have no idea what to expect when I go to the doctor's sometime next week, and as silly as it sounds I would like a little reassurance that I'm going to be fine. The last thing I want is to hear some bad news on my brithday next week. Again, I'm really sorry for the ramble but hopefully it makes sense.
