Health anxiety all time low

oh Sarah sending you massive hugs. I've still got the breast pain and yes it's giving health anxiety and I got mines checked 2 years ago. I think you should go to your DR and show your breast pain just for peace of mind. I felt like you and the only way I calmed myself down was to see my GP and boy I've had so many appointments all fine. I've got a scan on Friday again already had two earlier this year for bleeding. My Dr has ordered another one as I bleed when I wipe too and after sex. It's never ending. honestly go and see your GP that's the only way you will feel better. My GP just wants everything checked but thinks it's perimenopause as I've seen the gynecologist twice and all clear apart from polyps which were causing the bleeding. DR thinks I've got them back they are usually benign.

Don't touch your breasts as you'll disturb the breast tissue even more as it's swelling apparently from hormonal levels changing. Mines burns and dull ache 2 weeks ago I was in so much pain. Please leave them alone until you see your GP.

Here if you need to reach out x

Hi, Sorry you are going through such a rough time.

I've been the same recently with awful health anxiety. No joke in the past 3 months I've had mammogram, breast ultrasound, abdomen ultrasound, head MRI, abdomen MRI, heart scan and 4 lots of blood tests. And I'm still convinced there is something seriously wrong with me. At the end of sept I was getting really bad pains in my left breast. Stabbing, aching, pulling and itchy nipple, everyday (I also bruised my breast when I kept prodding it). But since the mammogram and ultrasound it's all but gone (ultrasound showed I have scattered cysts in my breasts which is totally normal for this age apparently). I have the shoulder pain and my arm sometimes feels like its being squeezed at the top. I think it's from neck/shoulder tension. I keep getting a weird head/ear/neck pressure. The vision in my left eye keeps going blurry. My left hip aches and radiates to my back/side. And I keep getting stabbing pains in my stomach.

I'm sure it's all down to hormones but it's so hard to believe that they can cause so many different symptoms. Defo get checked out at the drs for your own peace of mind and to stop you worrying. The breast clinic I went to said to wear a sports bra all the time (even in bed), cut out caffeine and take evening primrose oil. They also said if it's really painful you can use ibuprofen gel on them.

Anyway, just wanted to let you know you're not alone and there are others going through the same thing. This perimenopause is hell. I am literally like a different person. I'm a bag of nerves all the time.

Are you taking any supplements? Magnesium is helping me. I'm also having CBT. It helps me when I have an intrusive thought to shout 'STOP' in my head and then tell myself it's not fact, it's just a thought and it doesn't mean it's true.

Hugs to you x
