slightly concerned

hi everyone,

im 19f and just wondering if anyone else has experienced any symptoms like this? i'm diagnosed with somatic symptom disorder so im often told im overreacting regarding sickness, but i can't really conjure this one up. 
 

for the past couple of months ive had bad bruising in my armpits, on the skin just beneath them and under my breasts. ive tried wearing loose bras and everything along those lines to see if they'd go away but they haven't. they're painful and a dark green/yellow in colour. 
 

I've had other symptoms along side this, but they aren't as dramatic? (i don't know it that's the right word to use). ive been really tired as of late and sleep for roughly 12 hours a day without including numerous naps, as im currently waiting to start my new job. my body aches all the time and i have always felt just under the weather. 
 

i just wanted to see if anyone else has experienced anything like this, and if so, have you figured out what caused it?? any time i try searching it, the results lead me to ALL :( im terrified that this is the case

thank you!

  • Hello elfzx

    I'm sorry that you've had health concerns over the past few months. Unfortunately no one here on the forum will be able to tell you what these symptoms may be related to. The best person for you to speak to would be your GP who will be able to arrange any appropriate tests or referrals. 

    In the meantime, please avoid searching Google for information as much of what you'll find won't be relevant to your situation and will simply leave you feeling even more anxious. 

    I hope you have some answers soon. 

    Best wishes,
