Hi Lisa,
I'm sorry to hear that you are having these symptoms and they are causing you so much anxiety. Our bodies are amazing and try to alert us when something is just not quite right. Sometimes we just want to ignore what is going on, hoping it will go away, but we shouldn't. More times than not, we are worried for nothing. The best way to feel better is to get this checked out - the sooner, the better. If it were me I would call my gyno or onc and get an appointment right away. Be sure to give all of your symptoms - anything that is different lately, no matter how minor it may seem. Insist on a pelvic ultra-sound to rule out any problems female related.
Hopefully this is nothing, but the sooner you find out, the better. This way if it is nothing, you can breathe easier; if you need follow-up you are ahead of the game.
I wish you the best with all of this. Please keep us posted.
All my best,
