Swollen left breast

Hi there, I woke up on Sat morning with a dull pain in my left breast.  Thought I'd slept on it all night and it just ached,  it's now Monday and still aches as much, it's slightly hot but most of all it feels bigger than the right breast.  I feel like I don't want to waste GPs time just before Christmas. Shall I leave it a week before going back and hope the swelling and aches subside? 

  • Hello Debfarmer
    I'm sorry to hear that you had a problem with pain in your breast earlier this week. If things haven't settled over the Christmas period or if you are still concerned then please do make an appointment to see your GP. It could be something very simple and if nothing else they will be able to offer you some reassurance. 
    Best wishes,
