Faint lump in breast when lying on side

Hi I'm a new user although have been looking on this website for a while. 

As the title says really, I've recently discovered a faint lump in my breast only when lying on my side. I have to press quite firmly to feel it but I can definitely feel something sometimes but then other times I'm not sure if I can feel it. 

Do you think I should get it checked out or am I being a bit too anxious. I suffer with anxiety so you can imagine how much I'm worrying over this.

Thanks in advance x

  • Hello MissLeonard

    I'm sorry to hear that you've recently found a lump in your breast. It's understandable that you're feeling anxious but I'd encourage you to speak to your GP to get this checked. 

    Many younger women have naturally lumpy breasts but for your own peace of mind, it's important to get this checked. Try to keep in mind that the majority of breast lumps are not cancerous. 

    Do let us know how you get on. 

    Best wishes,
