Hi all- I’ve been trying really hard to get a walk in a few times a week, and not be such a hypochondriac but I’m just having a bit of a rough patch..particularly I’ve noticed some very mild discomfort and swelling under my chin...it is a little bit noticeable but not ridiculous..it’s just a bit uncomfortable if I turn my head a certain way or push on it too hard (i know, don’t do that! Lol) but it’s kind of bugging and worrying me..it is not the side of neck lymph nodes, it’s directly under my chin...I’m just wondering if it’s a Perimenopause thing or..something else..I generally feel okay, sometimes tired but that’s because I don’t sleep great..that endless cycle..If any one has noticed this chin thing, feel free to respond...I have a lot of seasonal allergies and take Flonase sometimes but otherwise nothing else in terms of meds or chronic illness..Thank you all for your help in advance! 😊
Your thyroid is located under your chin about 2 fingers down...Is it near your thyroid?
There are submandibular lymph nodes right under your chin. Mine were swollen once after flu and tonsillitis but it went away. They only noticed them when I had my thyroid biopsied during the ultrasound. I didn’t feel anything. Your doctor will be able to tell by feeling them.
Have you checked your sleeping position? Maybe leaning chin 9n your arms?
I'm thinking that might be some lymph nodes too. See if it clears up in about a week. Maybe your body is just fighting a little infections somewhere.
