Please help me out

Hello. Recently I've noticed a dip in my breast when I lay down on my back. I have the dip in both breasts but one is slightly more prominent and underneath one is slightly more firmer. The dip feels as if its just a hole and has got nothing there. 

When I stand up or sit up there is nothing there and it feels normal. I've looked in the mirror and there is no sign of a dip or dent or any other discolouration and it looks comepltly normal. It's just when I lay down. I usually have this ache in my armpit before and it's gone in a couple of days but recently I had a horrible dream where I was diagnosed and its freaked me out.

I have no other signs other than a slight discomfort in my left side in my armpit but I'm also due on for my period (7 days to be exact) so it could just be that. But I've never noticed this before I a suffer so bad with health anxiety. 

I apologise if this isn't the place to ask questions. I'm so just unbelievably scared and looking for some support. 

Thank you in advance.

  • Hello and thank you for your post.

    I am afraid that no one here can tell you what is causing these changes in your breast.  The fact is that we can often feel changes in our breasts and these will not, in most cases, be due to cancer. 

    The best thing to do, if you are worried, is to make a GP appointment to get checked out.  In most cases, there will be an explanation for what you feel, and will hopefully not be due to cancer and this could give you some peace of mind. 

    Take care,

    Caroline

  • Hello Caroline... thank you for responding. I am defiantly going to go to a gp and just have a check over just to be on the safe side. I think my dream and all the reading I done freaked me out but from the kind words people have left I'm a little less concerned though... but still going to make the appointment, just as a check. 

    Thank you x
