Hello, my anxiety is currently through the roof - hence my post!
I’ve had a lump under my chin for around 8 months now. It was initially brushed off by a couple GPs. One said it was nothing, the other said it was likely a reactive lymph node.
I went back to the doctors a couple of weeks ago about it and this time they referred me for an ultrasound. This time the GP said they could feel it but didn’t say much else.
My ultrasound isn’t for another two weeks but I’ve been worrying more every day and just thinking of the worse. I’ve been trying not to Google but at times have given in to temptation, which usually makes things worse.
Does anyone have any tips on how to deal with anxiety waiting for tests? It feels like I can’t move forward with life! Plans for the future feel obsolete, which I know is silly!
For context my lump is small, hard, under the middle of my chin - my recent GP said she thinks it may be the sublingual gland. Since finding the lump I am constantly checking my neck and body for others. I also believe my right submandibular gland is swollen. I can easily feel this compared to my left which I really have to dig to feel.
