Breast signs and symptoms, struggling to get appt with GP

Hi all,

I am currently trying to get an appointment to actually see a GP face-face (which is proving difficult) as I am currently experiencing problems with my left breast, which is making me extremely anxious. Over the past 4-5 weeks I have noticed changes in my left breast, including swelling, redness (patches and what looks like whelt marks), heaviness, hotness and pain. There is also localised thickness in areas. However, these symptoms are not constant and appear to come and go. When symptoms appear, I also experience a fever, extreme tiredness, sweating and nausea. Has anyone ever experienced something similar, and can give me a bit of advice please? As you can imagine, I am worried sick, my mind is in overdrive and Google is giving me nightmares!! Thank you xx
