Ok this is difficult to say anxiety related and with lymph nodes swollen you have to see your doctor to put mind at rest. If it is anxiety related then at least it will start to decrease panic when you get expert advice. Anxiety can cause lots of false symptoms including heart and breathing and rashes and ulcers etc but in your case you must go chat with Dr no matter how scared you are. X

Hi Sam, regarding lumps on breast I also had and I still have them since last year I was so scared to go to the doctors for check up but pain was so bad and I just thought I will die of breast cancer I have a two young kids and I realised that no matter what I have to stay strong for them till I’m alive ,I suffer with anxiety since 6 years so long time ,regarding breast I went to gp he examinated me and send for scan and mammogram I was so scared but results came back as a normal ,specialist said that it’s hormonal changes what cause the lumps and pains ,many reasons can be but in my scenario I could thank my anxiety for that (it does make us crazy ).he said not to worry about at all just to check it once a year plus to take some evening promise oil , so since then I feel the pain on and of lumps also are sometimes bigger sometimes smaller .but I’m ok I don’t stress anymore about it .so please do the same have it check then pain from your chest will ease also as it is due to stress and worrying about what if something is wrong .... I know as I was there .all best

Thank you Katarzyna for your reply I have a young child as well and I agree I have be strong for my child but it makes it hard to live fully though at times I'm more worried now because I did have a ultrasound done on my breast about 8 months ago or so and the doctor said he believes I have fibrosystic breast disease but that this should go away in three months but it's been like a total of 9 months and the lump has became bigger and long it hurts what worries me most is I now have two swollen lymph nodes above my left clavicle above my breast and it says those nodes are linked to tumors and cancer so I'm terrified and I have no medical I have a appointment the 24th for a cheap clinic so I guess I will find out then 😧 I just pray it'll all be ok

Yes I know I have no medical so it's been difficult but I did schedule a appointment for the 24th of this month

Perfect. Keep us all posted x

I definitely just really worried until then which totally sucks but I've read sometimes lymph nodes swell due to stress etc that I'd what I'm hoping it's from and not concerned nor lymphoma

I do think you should you see a doctor soon. But I don't think you should catastrophize & think it's lymphoma or cancer. Get it checked first. Any other conditions that you think you might have ignore it .

My mom has a lump in her breast for a while. It sometimes hurts. Some women have thick tissues or something like that lol. Some thing with the breast tissue is too think or something i dont recall. But it could be nothing.

See a doctor & keep me posted. You can always message me when you feel anxious xo.

I'm worried about a lot honestly I really hope it's neither I really don't want to die etc.... I don't want to leave my husband or child with out me vise versa but yes I have a appointment on the 24th I'm just scared I did go to the ER about two weeks ago and they did x-rays of my chest and bloods etc they only said I have a uti but if they found something in my blood or xray they would have told me right..?

Yes you can see cancer on a chest xray & on a blood test. I wouldn't worry. But sometimes they have to test the actual lump. On your appointment on the 24th they'll tell you whether or not it should be tested. Try to calm down un the meantime sweetheart.

I'm trying and I've noticed sometimes I have all these symptoms and then sometimes I feel perfectly fine.... And I think to myself sometimes if it was something super serious these issues wouldn't just come and goo they get worse at night though except obviously the lymph nodes and lump in my breast that doesn't come and go

I agree with everybody that replied to you.

My opinion  though is, you should go for medical exams.. when they come out to be clean.. you will feel much better knowing is nothing serious other than your anxiety only... knowing that you only have anxiety and nothing else, you can deal with it much more easier than also thinking that you ahve something else..

Yes. Same with my mom. She's a nurse so I asked her about it. Hers usually hurts during her cycle or pms. Your tests haven't given you any diagnosis, I'd really try to calm down. Try not to think about it so much. You'll be okay. I hope i helped or reassured you lol.

But this keeps happening I go to the doctors they say I'm fine and I'll be OK but then other things come a long and it just seems to keep getting worse and worse all though i'am going to be seeing a doctor on the 24th I'm completely terrified I will receive horrible news.... And have a break down but all my family and husband keep telling me they think I'm fine im just over reacting so we will see
