hello,
i have a swollen lymphnode that has been there for almost 6 months now. im a 30 years old female.
jan 17th 2018. i had viral infections. one of them was upper respiratory and the last one was on june i had EbV . in the blood test i had no MoNo just ebv.
anyways im not sure when but around the ebv time i noticed my have a tiny lump on the right aide on my neck. it sometimes shows and sometimes disappear.
i was done with all the viruses around july. i was healthy again. but the lump in my neck was still there. yesterday i was having a thyroid scan and i was my doctor to scan the area of my lymph. and there is was 23mm.
the only thing i have is neck discomfort. i have difficulity in maintaining my head straight for a long time. my sternocleidomastoid gets tight specially the left side . i am not sure if this is cause by this lymphnode. when the neck discomfort increases i get also with it chest discomfort. as if its heavy a bit. i used to have excessive post nasal drip for about 8 months. now its waaaay less.
i do not have fever
nor weight loss ( ffs im not eating and cant lose weight)
symptoms i have with the lymphnode
neck heaviness sometimes accompanied with chest heaviness
hot flashes… or something like ice feeling just like when you shower with ice/mint based shampoo
my bp plays a bit. max goes up to 15.
lightheadness
can it be lymphomia? should i worry? what tests can discover if i have any sort of cancer ? other that taking a biopsy of the lymphnode ( im just toooo scared of surgeries im a self control freak )
thank you for reading and help
