uncomfortable chest feeling and change of appetite

[BlessedPeace]

My family doctor told me today that in respects to the ultrasound and mammogram I did, I have a nodule on the left side of the breast 6mm but she said she thinks it should be benign but is not 100% so she referred me to I think it's a specialist she was talking about to check it further. I feel this is due to living a sedentary life as I explained for the last ten yrs but it could be something I'm consuming. I will definitely look into everything including continuing to get off my psychiatric medications I've been on for about 10 yrs now due to issues and then see if it's benign, if it will shrink away on its own. Thank you everyone for the heartfelt prayers and thanks @Lambano and others who still put "likes" on my Daily Exercise Log. Let's take the challenge! thread and stuff and not ignore me just bc I'm facing some sort of illness. <3

*Hugs For you and Dev

Sorry I want to correct that I have lived a sedentary lifestyle for about 8 something yrs, not 10. I was going to nutrition school after I was in the emergency for excessive anxiety feelings for issues because I guess I'm sensitive and I was put on benzodiazepine and anti-depressant, but 2 yrs later I tried the anti-psychotic medication. That is when I couldn't continue or be competitive to go to nutrition school and seemed to have gotten more stupid, lack of desire or motivation for a lot of things I used to be motivated to do so I guess it wasn't God's will for me to be a nutritionist working in a health store even though that is my dream job of what I like and feel I can likely do but if I get off my other 2 psychiatric medications later it will be late to do that kind of thing.

I wanted to share this. My sister was very into natural health. One great herbal supplement she recommended to our mom was Hawthorn berry standardized extract capsules. It helps strengthen heart muscle.

And there is always blood cleansing herbs that I take, which helps the heart too. Dandelion root extract, or Burdock root.

Standardized means the medicinal herbs properties are concentrated in the formula. More potent that way.

I don't feel or think I have a heart problem but if I ever do, I'll remember this, thanks. Do you know if you can take Burdock tincture from a natural health store if you're on psychiatric medications? I'm still on 3 but will be down to 2 medications earlier next yr. I know Burdock helps with blood cleansing which is probably good for me to cleanse my blood, does it also help with circulation? Exercise is the most helpful for circulation and therefore, healthy blood. I think if I cleanse the blood, it can probably shrink the nodule I have. I have heard that if you live sedentary you have a higher risk for breast cancer which is what I'm scared of and changing and now I'm exercising even though my medications make it harder to do.

Not after exercise. I did too little exercise for long-term. I didn't make many friends because of having SAD and only met one close friend who wasn't really a good friend and is now living too far and is also busy with her own life now so I had no friends to go out with on most days and also my medication makes me feel tired and unmotivated in that if it's not fun, I don't feel like doing it but now because of this I should have a motivating factor to do it and it's still ok to do and I should wake up early enough to go to my group walks. It's around below the breast bone in the centre-ish and not radiating, just this soreness or tenderness feeling like a tiny bit stingy and it's an uncomfortable chest feeling like that. Oh well, whatever God wants me to go through there's always a reason. I exercised too little for about 5-10 yrs. My sister had surgery once in her body because they weren't sure if her cyst was cancerous, but after the surgery it came back and another doctor said this kind of thing will always come back and you don't need to do surgery. The doctor didn't feel any lump when checking me but I will be doing bloodwork, ultrasound and mammogram to be sure. Thank you so much.

Look in to intermittent fasting.
Combine with low carb.

That should help.

I'm not taking the herb anymore because even though it has the benefit of pain relief, it didn't relieve the pain after a week and also I know something that is bad about it, that it mimics estrogen and is not good if you have hormone-like cancers and I have felt basically fine after I guess exercising everyday and I'm eating other anti-cancer stuff and anti-breast cancer or good for breast cancer tea. Next for me is to be notified of my appointment for a biopsy, they will use a needle on my chest where the nodule is, into the breast area, to check if it is benign or cancer and then it will proceed from there.

If you don't mind me asking, did you take the "mRNA" Pfizer vaccine, or another like it for the COVID-19 pandemic?

How are you doing now?
Praying everything will be alright.

Years ago my aunt had cysts in her breasts. The doctor removed them....they were benign thankfully.

Let the glorious LORD be praised and thanked .

Praise God for letting me know that I HAVE TO exercise all that my body wants and needs to and maybe He's saying, even with the anti-psychotic medication I'm still on, that I can still do it but that I just have to try harder, and that He will help give me the motivation.

 

[Debp]

I have been kind of slacking in my exercise. The anti-psychotic medication I'm still on has caused me to have a lack of motivation ever since I tried it so that I "feel" like lying down on my bed for a very long time even though my body feels like getting up and exercising but if it was going out to walk with family, I'd get up and go and walk a lot
Also, I think God is trying to help motivate me. Recently, my sister has been threatening me to cook 1 vegetable a day or else she won't let me go out with her and the family to walk outside so I'll see how that goes. I'll have to try harder and it's like behavior therapy... do something and you'll get a reward. lol, I hope I'll be motivated to do "that" now. That means I'll have to wake up earlier and have something to do and get done and also exercise and then I can think about lying there and sleeping. I definitely exercise about a half an hr everyday but that's not enough for my body and compared to how much I am lying there and that medication makes me feel like lying there and not getting up until my body feels bad enough. I hate that medication but I'm still at the end of getting off of the first medication.
Another thing is I was sent a text for an appointment day in early November and that I will be doing an ultrasound and mammogram and someone called me that, that day is the day for the biopsy, but my family, all of us heard the doctor say on an earlier appointment that there will be an ultrasound, to guide the needle, and I heard to freeze it as well. I called about this to the # that texted me this where I can talk about this and the lady told me and insisted that I have no ultasound on that day of the biopsy but only a mammogram after the biopsy, which doesn't seem to make sense. So my sister called back and left a message, insisting on asking further, but there was no reply and in our experience it's hard to reach them so I don't know if on that day what will happen and if we'll be going there for nothing and everything's going to be screwed up because no one has called back. Thanks for the prayers dear Christians.
Finally, yes I know this can be treated. If it's benign, I read that you can get rid of it by freezing it and something and if it's cancerous, it's doing surgery. I would like prayer that the nodule won't get bigger because it's on the left side of the breast like about an inch away from my lymph nodes and if it gets bigger then it could spread to other parts of the body if it's cancer. Thanks a lot. Thanks Debp for your concern.

You're quite welcome. Thanks for your kindness in return.

Try reaching that number again to clarify if you are getting the ultrasound. You can tell them your doctor said you would have an ultrasound, etc.

Sounds like you've been V*xed!

She said earlier that she wasn't...

 

[thelord's_pearl]

thanks @Debp, for sharing about your aunt. Sorry to hear that she had a cyst in her breast but I'm glad that she's ok now.

 

[Lambano]

but my family, all of us heard the doctor say on an earlier appointment that there will be an ultrasound, to guide the needle,

Okay, so the ultrasound and biopsy are part of the same procedure. That makes sense. Don't worry about it. Just show up on time and let them worry about the "how-to". Okay?

My wife has been through this. I said a prayer for you.

 

[Debp]

thanks @Debp, for sharing about your aunt. Sorry to hear that she had a cyst in her breast but I'm glad that she's ok now.

She had several, all benign. She's been in Heaven for a long time now.

 

[thelord's_pearl]

I had to cancel my biopsy appointment as I got the flu or something like that so I had to reschedule.

Thanks dev553344, just to let you guys know, I don't feel that it is cancer and I've been eating a lot of anti-cancer stuff and as I've been doing basically fine now but I'm just not 100% and it's not that bad that I have my biopsy appointment in early December.

 

[thelord's_pearl]

good news! the lady did ultrasound on me and then showed it to the doctor and he said I didn't have to do a biopsy as it's a fluid-filled sac like a cystic nodule, not a solid cancerous nodule and that I just have to follow up perhaps 6 months later with I think another ultrasound and that she'll do a report on it. I'm so happy!! I only need prayer that this won't become cancer, that I won't get any more nodules and that this nodule will disappear. Thanks for the prayers!!
