I have already visited my GP and have my breast clinic referral appointment this week but I can't stop overthinking the outcome and googling my symptoms (bad idea, I know).

Sept 2025 I noticed hairs growing near to the nipple on my left breast, put it down to age changes (34) then late November I started having a constant pain in the same breast that goes from my armpit to my nipple and be a dull ache, shooting pain and feeling heavy. I checked my breast and wasn't sure if I was feeling an abnormality but the area where I felt it caused the pain to worsen when touched. I put it down to my cycle and waited for another cycle to see if it stopped. No changes and then Christmas happened. In the new year with the pain continuing I went to the GP and she checked but couldn't feel what I was feeling and said it's possible muscular pain but refered me for peace of mind plus both grandmothers have had breast cancer.

My question is has anyone else had symptoms similar to mine and what the conclusion was. I know I should wait until my appointment but I already struggle with anxiety and the wait and continuous pain is causing me to spiral
