I am sorry this post is long, but I am very scared of going to the doctors about my health anxiety related problems so I just wanna rant a bit (thank you to anyone who reads the whole thing!): recently I have been dealing with severe anxiety because I was worried I had breast cancer, the worry came in march when I woke up to a sharp pain in the side of my breast and I instantly thought of the worst possible case, (I am 20 years old if that helps with anything) So I had a breast exam done with a doctor and she told me not to worry and I was fine, fast forward to now and I have been scared out of my mind again about this pain because it is still there only it comes and goes when it pleases, so I worked up the nerve to make another appt to talk to a doctor about it because I did not bring the pain up before, I only asked for an exam. This time I met with a different doctor, we talked about my anxiety and I finally asked her about the breast pain but she didn't give me an answer that made me happy.... she had no clue what the pain could be, I tried to explain that my mom told me she has a very similar, almost identical pain and her doctor said it was caused by a nerve. She still had no clue and told me as long as it isn't persistent pain I am fine (even though I told her I get it multiple times a month, her definition of persistent means 24/7) She even felt the area and said I should not be concerned and told me she does not know what could cause it but she knows that I am okay. I don't know why but I started crying when I left the place, It is really hard for me to go to the doctors for my anxiety and since she didn't know I just don't feel any better at all. She gave me Prozac which I am going to try but I really need reassurance right now...... does anyone think I have anything to be worried about? Or should I just listen to what she said and know that I am okay?? This pain has caused a lot of anxiety in me and I appreciate any input at all!! Note: I did not have any anxiety until AFTER I felt this pain for the first time but I am sure my anxiety made it worse.
I think you need a mamy Graham
is it your actual breast or chest?
breast?? dont nerves that run along the chest run in the breast? when i feel the pain i know where its coming from but i cannot touch it, its there but invisible to feel? i dont know if that made sense im sorry
i cannot get one, why do you think i need one??
i wouldnt worry too much. anxiety causes so many different feelings in the body. ive had chest pains the last week or so and its all anxiety. i even had all blood work and hormones checked and everything was normal. i take prozac. it actually saved my life. hope things grt better 
i still worry rveryday about every little thing but the medication helps a lot.
I suffer with lots of muscle pains in my breasts , aching and shooting pains ! Your not alone hun xxxx
Just to be safe
Honey get a second opinion. Never take one Dr’s “OPINION” when it comes to isuses like this.
If its any reassurance I had a similar thing a few months back. Went into severe panic thinking the worst. It was like living a nightmare.
Eventually after trying antibiotics I was sent to the breast clinic for a scan. I was told its nothing to worry about at all.
The lady at the breast clinic told me many women suffer breast pain in one or both breasts for no real reason at all. She also told me anything sinister in the breast rarely presents its self with pain. So please try not to worry too much.
I would suggest taking note of when the pain occurs against your cycle. I find that I get a nerve type pain around ovulation and just before my period starts.
Also if you have a history of breast cancer in the family get another appointment and make sure they are aware of how many women (or men) have this in your family.
i think that is when my pain comes around too! and when my anxiety flares up.
i dont have a history of breast cancer, i think ive only had two relatives on my moms parents side with that issue… hope thats not bad.
i hope you have happy new year and thank you for the reply
