Hi everyone. I hope someone can help me. I’m 33 years almost 34. Iv suffered with health anxiety for a long time but the last 3 years I have really had it under control and been able to rationalise my thoughts over symptoms.
Just under 2 weeks i have had a few symptoms which are frightening me into thinking I have oral cancer on the tongue.
- slight sore throat that comes and goes, mainly goes.
- a lump at the left side of the tongue at the back which is the same colour as my tongue, I have the same the other side but not as big. (Main concern)
- tingling/burning sensation across the left side of my tongue from front to back. (Main concern)
- a feeling of a lump that comes and goes.
- on/off left ear pain, but iv had this for months maybe even a year, sometimes my ear gets blocked and pops again.
I will say that when I eat and drink it takes away that tingling/burning feeling for a few moments.
please, if anyone has any experiences that have turned out to be absolutely fine I would really appreciate it, I’m sending myself spiralling and into a state of panic. I’m scared. I have 3 young children and I really am absolutely terrified x
