Gaining Weight, Bloating In Stomach, Late Periods, Lump In Arm Pit. What Could Be This?
I have several things going on with my body and am concerned but have not seen a doctor yet due to the fact that I am just starting out as an agent and do not have insurance yet. First, I have gained about 10 lbs in 2 weeks, I was always able to eat what I wanted and not gain a pound. I am very bloated and it hurts to try and hold my stomach in. I am now also a week late for my cycle and have a negative pregnancy test result. I also have a lump in my left armpit that I did have with my last pregnancy. It doesn't hurt but is the size of a small golf ball.

Hi, Thanks for using HCM.
Get done one USG abdomen and pelvis and blood HCG levels to diagnose the cause for your symptoms. This may be due to pregnancy or due to any other problem.
The lump in left arm pit may be lymphnode or obstructed gland. Get examined your breast and also around the lump. Get back with the detail description of the lump for its diagnosis and management.
If no pregnancy get back to me with the scanning report along with the details of the drugs(if taking) and symptoms for discussion on management. Hope I answered your question. Consult your doctor for further examination and management.
Feel free to ask me if you have any further queries.
Wish you good health. Take care.
Regards

Hi there. I'm sorry to learn that you are going through a difficult patch. In is difficult to see how not going to a doctor soon will work. The very least you need is to have your thyroid function tested by a simple blood test. And then that lump in your axilla does need looking at. Sorry I can't be more helpful and good luck.
