    I'm sorry to hear that you're dealing with some health concerns at the moment. It's understandable that you're feeling anxious. 

    Hopefully, you won't have to wait too long to speak to your GP and they will be able to give you some reassurance about the ultrasound results. 

    In the meantime, try to keep busy and think positively about the situation. Try to avoid searching online for information as you're unlikely to find answers and it will leave you feeling more worried. There's some useful information on the NHS website about coping tips for health anxiety. 

    I hope that things improve for you soon. 

    Best wishes,
