  • Welcome to the forum Max although I'm sorry for the reason you're joining us.

    As these symptoms are worrying you it would probably be best to book an appointment with GP as they're the only ones who can tell you whether your symptoms are any cause of concern.

    Hopefully this won't be the case but it's always good to get things like this checked out, especially for your own peace of mind.

    I hope these tips we have on our website will help you get the most out of your appointment.

    Kind regards,
