Having very bad anxiety.

A few days ago I started noticing one vein in particular was more noticeable. I have always had easy to see veins, as well as some spider-like veins. I believe I am starting my period, but this has never happened before. I’ve been on the pill for 3 years. No other symptoms aside from my breast feeling slightly warm(which may just be from me constantly touching them to check if it’s changed). I cannot feel any lumps. Having really bad anxiety, can’t tell if some pain is from that or could be from breast cancer. I’m 25, no children…can’t stop myself from all the what-ifs…having a hard time sleeping and eating. Made an appointment now I have to just wait.
