Breast Feeling Odd

6 replies

Emmaar22 · 03/10/2017 12:05

For the past week or so my left breast has been feeling odd. It feels bigger then my right breast, for example if I stand up straight I can feel the left breast against my left arm and sometimes I can feel the extra skin under my armpit, Also had some mild pains as well. Ive also been experiencing cramp in my rib cage on the left side on the odd occasion not all of the time. Last week I was on holiday and I was sleeping on a hard bed so I dunno if that is the reason why for all of this. I have checked for any lumps on both of my breaths and have caught none, I am due to be on my period around this time. Can anyone give me a explanation for all of this? I am 22 and ive read theirs a very slim chance of me having cancer yet, but it`s at the back of my mind.

Get to your GP ASAP and get checked over. The GP won't mind and it'll put your mind at ease. Hope all is ok Flowers

It could be hormonal but I think any new changes need assessing by a GP. Try not to worry, easy to say I know Flowers

So I just had a little look and I read its pretty normal for a breast to be larger then the other, saying that I did just change bras and Im not sure if I can feel my left breast against my arm or not, I can definitely feel the underskin of the armpit. Id say 90% I cant now.

Yes, going out of my mind here.

Can you ring your GP today and ask for an appointment to put your mind at rest?

Sorry to be spamming but it is definitely the armpit all I can feel against my arm now. Pains must be hormonal related.

It could be an enlarged lymph node. I've had a similar pain under my arms quite a few times over the years that were harmless. If you're worried and you think it will calm you down phone your GP to be seen.
