Multiple swollen lymph nodes

Hello! Just wanted to pop on here and look for some advice. A couple of weeks ago when I was doing my hair I noticed a big lump on the side of my neck from a swollen lymph node. Over the following days it got a bit bigger, I now have 5 on the right hand side of my neck/collarbone and 7 on the left hand side of my neck/collarbone. They're all at least the size of a pea and a couple are considerably bigger. I don't feel poorly which I thought I would if it was just an infection. I have had terrible migraines for a few weeks and for a few months I've been relentlessly tired. I have booked a doctors appointment just to double check everything is all good as I'm sure it probably is! I highly doubt that it's anything sinister so was just wondering if anyone has experienced similar and it has been just an infection or something?

 

thank you xx

    I'm sorry to hear that you're dealing with some health concerns at the moment. It's understandable that you're feeling anxious about things. 

    I'm glad to hear that you already have a GP appointment arranged. They will be best placed to examine you and arrange any tests that may be appropriate. 

    Hopefully your GP will be able to offer you some reassurance later this week. 

    Best wishes,
