| Could I have lymphoma?
Hi all. First I want to thank all those that read this.
Secondly, yes I worry and am a hypochondriac and I'm not looking for a solution here...just opinions. I know most people will say 'if you're worried go to a doctor' I know this and I am going to, but I would like opinions from people's experiences.
So first off, I don't know what my lymph nodes should feel like. I know I have bumps under my skin BUT they are not visible whichever way I turn my neck. I'm thinking it could just be the natural stuff that is in there. (trachea, esophagus,muscles, thyroid, etc) I'm always worried because I feel my boyfriend's neck and I can't find the same bumps. They are located right around where you feel your pulse. (a little above that) is the area I'm concerned about...even though I have to press pretty deep to feel them...
Also, my right ear has been plugged up (not to the point of not hearing) but if I press on my neck on the right side, it goes away...so I'm afraid that maybe there IS swelling in there and it is affecting my ear stuff.
I had 3 bouts of night sweats but not for a few weeks now *knock on wood* I had the night sweats at a time of high anxiety (was diagnosed with HPV) and I was afraid I'd have cervical cancer
Would these lymph nodes be getting larger? Would the night sweats have just stopped or would they continue and get worse? (I know for a fact 1 of them was night sweats....I was drenched....2 others were just really really sweaty) I know sleep with only a sheet, and I haven't had one...
Everything else is just about the same, I'm tired, but not more than a full-time college student should be. I haven't lost weight, etc.
Could someone help me out? I'm trying to figure out if I'm swollen, if the night sweats were linked, etc.
Thanks in advance, I really appreciate it.
