Almost sounds like you are causing alot of
your own demise by what I call sefl
diagnosis. That is not good. If you look
up everyting on the web, you will be
guarenteed to have some of them but, not
necessarily have that illness. I
personally would encourage you to stay
away form those sites and listen to your
doctor. You sound like you my very well
have anxiety and panic. But, is it self
induced? If indeed you feel these symptoms
are getting the best of you, then by all
means seek some help and counseling.
Everyone is different and not always have
the same symptoms. For me, I feel like a
"twisted donut" 24/7. That is how my
anxiety hits me. I am never calm. I am on
medication to take the edge of.
Ever ache and pain I use to get, I would
look up on the web and say "Yep, I have
those symptoms, so I must have that
illness. Then I got sick and tired of
being sick and tired, and finally stopped
doing that. Listen to your doctor, he is
your best source.
I also have been diagnosed with acid
reflux (GERD) and the last attack I had a
couple of weeks ago, I swear I thought my
throat was on fire! I have never felt such
burning in my life.

You know, I took an abnormal psych class
and by the end I felt like I had every
known psychological disorder. Lol, it was
terrible.
Here's my suggestion- write down every
physical or mental symptom you are
experiencing and rate it from 1-5, 5 being
it bugs you every day and you can't deal
with it, 1 being it's really not too bad
and you could probably live with it if you
had to.
Take this list into a doctor and see what
she says. If the doctor doesn't come up
with something to help you with the 3's,
4's and 5's, take it to a different doctor
and then a psychiatrist/psychologist and
see if she can help you.
Also, you might want to stop in to a
psychologist if you feel you need help
dealing with these horrible things you've
had to deal with recently, when things
like that go wrong sometimes you just need
someone to talk to and help you through
it.
One last thought- our breasts change in
lumpiness throughout our menstrual cycle,
so it can from time to time just feel
lumpier than normal. Have you been doing
monthly self exams? Start if you aren't,
and you will know what they normally feel
like so you have something better to
compare it to. Do them at the same time in
your cycle each time.
