Hi, looking for advice on next steps.
I noticed a lump in my neck a few months ago, then more last month. There is around 4 in total that you can see in my neck. Dr referred me for an ultrasound which I have now had. The sonographer said they are swollen lymph nodes and I have a few more swollen ones I cannot see/feel too. She will send the report to my GP but swollen lymph nodes are ‘nothing to worry about’.
I am worried because I have other symptoms I have lost around 11kg in short amount of time, I have night sweats, constantly going hot/ small temperatures, headaches, tired- I am taking multiple naps a day as I cannot stay away and the smallest tasks feel unmanageable. I know I am not fighting an infection I am aware of- I don’t get poorly in terms of colds/viruses etc and you would think considering I’ve had them 3 months if that was the case they would have gone down by now?
my question is- if the sonogrpaher just says swollen lymph nodes and nothing to worry about does this mean everything is ok or should I ask for some tests like bloods etc? I don’t know what to do I don’t feel happy with that response as I want to know WHY they would be swollen. Any advice is appreciated as I am just a bit worried.
thank you.
