Get tested for a potential pulmonary embolism. It is really important to get tested as soon as possible as PEs can kill you. If your GP isn't interested go to A&E and say you are really worried about a PE and you want a d-dimer blood test. HRT is one of the main causes for PEs.
It is always better to be safe than sorry. Are you getting any breathing issues or palpitations? I got multiple pulmonary emboli from the pill and my pain started on the right side and moved up into my armpit. I had this feeling like something was leaning on my chest, then stabbing pains and I had problems taking in a deep breath. I then started experiencing very unpleasant palpitations. I got ice cold chills and very hot sweats. I also got cramps and pins and needles.
There is a good chance this may not be what it is, but I feel like I should tell you it is a possibility because I got very ill before I was diagnosed and would hate for someone else to experience what I did if it could have been avoided.

Good morning moon, thank you for your reply and telling me about your information and what you went through it sounds very frightening and glad your better now , but i will now be aware and if things get worse i know what to do , I never would have taught of that .
my right breast feels like it hot from the inside today which is a bit weird , I will ring my doctors next week again and not wait two weeks like he said , its makes me feel very worried .
