I would suggest you have a complete blood culture done to rule out other causes for your low blood count.  There are many factors that can lead to low hemoglobin counts. Type webmd into your search bar and then type in hemoglobin. This will give you a more thorough example of what I'm talking about.\n\nIt is quite important that you seek medical attention as soon as possible.

I am 22 and my breasts are still growing.  Let me tell you though, having big breasts isnt that great.  People see me and automatically think I am a slut.  I started getting breasts in 3rd grade and when I graduated highschool I was a DD... after having 2 babies, I am up to a FF... it isnt pretty, and I have horrible back pain almost all the time.  Your breasts will keep growing, you arent done yet.  As for your nipples, it will happen too.  Mine didnt look like the people on tv until i was 16.  good luck... advice on keeping them perky?  buy a sleeping bra... not as tight but guves enough support that they dont hae time to hang. always wear support.

I know you say that you can't afford it, but you need to see a doctor. Most likely it's nothing, but it's worthy of investigation. I've been where you are...no insurance, suspicious lump (in my breast), there are places that you can go to get help. Call your local health department and see what services they offer for people in your position, they may also be able to point you in the direction of a low or no cost clinic in your area. Also, contact your local hospital, most offer charity care which would cover all or part of your bill based on your income. Good luck.

i found a small hard lump in my breast it growed . it was cancer. it hurt sometimes and my breasts got sore.i was diagnosed april 2005...Lumps in a woman are often caused by fibrocystic changes, fibroadenomas, and cysts.\n\nFibrocystic changes can occur in either or both breasts. These changes occur in many women (especially during the reproductive years) and are considered a normal variation of breast tissue. Having fibrocystic breasts does not increase your risk for breast cancer. It does, however, make it more difficult to interpret lumps that you or your doctor find on exam. Many women feel tenderness in addition to the lumps and bumps associated with fibrocystic breasts.\n\nFibroadenomas are non-cancerous lumps that feel rubbery and are easily moveable within the breast tissue. Like fibrocystic changes, they occur most often during the reproductive years. Usually, they are not tender and, except in rare cases, do not become cancerous later. A doctor may feel fairly certain from an exam that a particular lump is a fibroadenoma. The only way to be sure, however, is to remove or biopsy them.\n\nCysts are fluid-filled sacs that often feel like soft grapes. These can sometimes be tender, especially just before your menstrual period. Cysts may be drained in the doctor's office. If the fluid removed is clear or greenish, and the lump disappears completely after it is drained, no further treatment is needed. If the fluid is bloody, it is sent to the lab to look for cancer cells. If the lump doesn't disappear, or recurs, it is usually removed surgically.\n\nOther causes of breast lumps include:\n\nMilk cysts (sacs filled with milk) and infections ( mastitis ), which may turn into an abscess. These typically occur if you are breastfeeding or have recently given birth. \nBreast cancer , detectable by mammogram or ultrasound, then a biopsy. Men can get breast cancer. \nInjury -- sometimes if your breast is badly bruised, there will be a collection of blood that feels like a lump. These tend to resolve on their own in a matter of days or weeks. If not, the blood may have to be drained by your doctor. \nLipoma -- a collection of fatty tissue. \nIntraductal papilloma -- a small growth inside a milk duct of the breast. Often occurs near the areola, the colored part of the breast surrounding the nipple, in women between the ages of 35 and 55. It is harmless and frequently cannot be felt. In some cases the only symptom is a watery, pink discharge from the nipple. Since a watery or bloody discharge can be seen in cases of breast cancer, this must be evaluated by your doctor. \ni dident have no discharge or bleeding from the nipple.. see your doctor...and request a mamogram and ultra sound.. i forgot the first gyn that checked mine said i dident need a mamogram said mine was a milk gland ....a year later i went and had another gyn check it out ..

Yikes, quick ask a doctor!  Sorry, but tightness in the chest is a serious symptom so don't look for an amateur explanation.

Many times your insurance will pay for a reduction if the weight of your breasts is causing you back ache or other problems.\nCheck with your insurance carrier and find out.\nGood luck

When you say pains in your chest do you mean a tightness like in the middle of your chest??\nSome people even though they eat a diet with potassium in it still need a suppliment that is prescribed for them.\nIf you are 18yrs you can go to a doctor on your own without your parents consent. Call the family doctor that you usually go to or ask friends for referrals. If you are still living at home under the age of 18 you need to speak to your parents. This ongoing chest pain needs to be evaluated and blowing you off by saying eat your bananas is not good enough. You could still have a low potassium level.\nPotassium if it becomes to low is a critical condition and can lead to all types of heart problems that can even be lethal and sudden.\n\nPerhaps your episodes have frightened your parents and it is a subject they are afraid to discuss.\n\nIf you still can;t get thru to them I suggest the next time you have chest pain you call 911 have the paramedics show up at your house and let them take you to the emergency room for an evaluation.\n\n\nP.S. Try to stay away from the cigarette smoke as much as possible. IT IS THE NUMBER ONE CAUSE OF ASTHMA in children and the BIGGEST trigger for an asthma attach\n\n\nall the best to you and keep us posted

First off, breathe....Wow, I am really sorry for the pain you are going through right now.  Life isn't easy, and I really should have paid more attention to my mom when she told me to enjoy my childhood, cause being an adult is not so much fun.  \n\nYou are not alone.  I have buried both of my parents after long illnesses where I helped them out the last few years of their lives by living with them and being their nurse.  After that pain was over, I thought things would finally be better, and a year later my husband had a heart attack.  The next year he was hospitalized for an infection.  And then when things finally looked better, he was hit by a car and was unable to walk for almost 9 months.  He is still in physical therapy and can barely walk.  Prior to all of this, we have been trying to conceive since 1997 (no luck and lately hard to even try).  And as far as the scarring goes, I was a perfectly healthy beautiful 17 year old (a long time ago) and got the chicken pox.  I ended up with horrible scarring all over my back chest and arms and will also never be able to wear a swimsuit or shortsleeved shirt again without being self conscious (ie-I never even try).  This may also have caused my infertility.\n\nAside from all of this suck, and when I was in my darkest place thinking thoughts like yours, my husband and I took a brief one week vacation together.  No cell phones, or visits to friends.  The only expectation was to have fun.  It was truly life affirming.  \n\nTo fight depression, try to eat healthy, get plenty of sleep, drink 8 glasses of water a day, and spend a little time everyday in the sunlight.  Talk to your doctor.  If the pain is physical, they have methods to reduce it.  If the pain is emotional, there are prescriptions and therapy available.  This will not solve your problems, but help you understand how your mind works so that you can stop your depression response.  \n\nIt is not easy, and my heart goes out to you, but try to spend more time focusing on the positive and things will seem a little better.  You still have your mind, and from the sounds of it your ability to move around freely.  Is there something you have always wanted to do?  My something was photography, so I took a class.  It was only one hour a week, but it was nice to spend one hour a week on myself for a change.  Perhaps get away and visit your friend in Europe?  Spend some time spoiling yourself.

Well, you probably should get to the doctor.  I know it's scary but the earlier you detect a cancerous growth the better -- it can be removed, you can receive treatment and you can recover faster.  But, what if you don't have cancer?  Then all of this worrying yourself and stress will be for nought.  That is why it is best for you to see a doctor.  Do you have a family doctor?  Someone you feel comfortable with?  How about starting at school and discussing these things with the school nurse?  You're old enough to have a gynecologist -- do you have one yet?  Well, before you make yourself crazy with worry... really, talk to someone and see a doctor about your symptoms.\n\nAs for your issues.  Maybe those lumps in your breast are actually breast development.  I can't remember how long the "buds" stage was supposed to last but... it sounds familiar. When you say that they feel small, sometimes larger and sometimes sore, have you noticed the soreness and size change around PMS time?  Maybe it's very normal.\n\nBlood in your #2.  Is it a lot of blood?  You may have developed an ulcer from worrying yourself so much.  Blood in the stool is often a sign of ulcers.  You may also have simply BM issues and have irritated your um, bum.  There are tests that I think you can buy from any pharmacy (I think that you have to ask the pharmacist because they keep them at the counter) -- but there is a test you can buy to test your #2.  I think that you send a sample (like a dipped sample or smear sample) to a lab on the package and they can make basic, early colon cancer determinations.  Ask your local pharmacist.  \n\nThroat cancer?  I don't know anything about this except that you should see a doctor.  I suspect that you have a touch of hypochondria going on here and that you may have psychosomatically given yourself some symptoms that are simply worry-symptoms.  For the cases of throat cancer that I've heard of, I think that the people were very heavy smokers. \n\nBecause you have had cancer in your family, it is good and prudent to be aware of the genetic odds of it traveling in your genes.  However, I caution you about getting too worried about these issues without getting professional advice.  Mind over matter -- *think* yourself healthy and your body will respond.

You have to pump!  If you aren't by a pump...I learned this trick at NY Hospital.  Take cabbage leaves and put them in the freezer....after they are very chilled/frozen place them around your breasts and this will ease the pain.... Also when you take a shower...do not face the water stream... You can also massage out any painful/lump areas..but pumping is the best.  GOOD LUCK.

This is totally normal if it is before your period (a lot of women have PMS swelling), or if your breasts are currently growing.  Sore breasts may also be a sign of pregnancy, so keep that in mind if it's a possibility.  Breast cancer, in the early statges, does not hurt at all.  The early sign of breast cancer is finding a lump (which would be HIGHLY unusual at your age).

From a professional standpoint I would get it checked.  There are programs out there to help you cover the costs of medical expenses.  A doctor cannot refuse you treatment due to inability to pay.  A really good program that could help you out is the Hill-Burton Act.  I spent many years working on an Oncology Unit (Cancer unit) in our local hospital and know that one of the signs of breast cancer is nipple discharge.  I don't want to scare you , only inform you.  Finding out now is best because there are treatments available that can stop the growth if it is cancer, and better to catch it early.  I will keep you in my prayers.
