I feel silly putting this in prediagnosis is but I didn't know what category to put it under.
okay I know I'm probably stressing over nothing but my aunt has just been diagnosed with ovarian cancer and I keep seeing things saying 1 in 2 people get cancer in their lifetime and it's playing on my mind.
ive found a lump in the right side of my neck, it's not painful to touch and it makes my stomach turn trying to see if it's hard or soft so I couldn't tell you about that. I have no throat pain or literally any other symptoms. The only thing I have struggled with the past 6-9 months is every so often if I bend a certain way with my arm I get this horrible sharp pain in my shoulder/neck (I think it's the trapezius muscle) and the most recent time it happened I came over really funny. I'd never felt like that before, I felt really sick and my vision went and my hearing sounded like I was underwater- it was spooky.
i dont think it's related though. I did have neck cramp tonight but I think that's because of how I'm laying on my sofa lol!
Anyway the only reason it's stressed me is because cancers a hot topic in my family right now and I also was slightly worried because back in September I had somewhat of a sort throat (none of this lump or whatever tho) and went to a doctor who gave me amoxicillin for it and all the symptoms went except this pea sized pale pink lump (i just looked and it has gotten smaller actually) just behind my left tonsil (opposite side of body to this new lump).
like I said, no other symptoms other than the past week I've been really breathless towards the end of the evening and occasionally right side pain when trying to breathe real deep (only for like a minute and it goes) but that could be put down to the fact that I'm a 17 year old who spends most of her time in bed so I'm really unfit (not unhealthy in food or weight though)
im a big health worrier about everything and I do also have anxiety so with everything going on in the family rn the breathlessness could be that because I had this same problem about 4 years ago when I was struggling with bad depression and anxiety.
