Hard pea size lump on left side of neck

Hello, I’m not sure whether I need to get it checked or not. But a few weeks ago I discovered a hard pea sized lump on the left side of my neck. It doesn’t move when pressed and it doesn’t hurt. I have been very tired and find myself having to have a sleep in the afternoons on days off from work. I keep getting very hot at night aswell and this was before the heatwave hit. I’m not sure whether I need to go to my gp or not. 

  • Welcome to the forum MissTurner24 although I'm sorry for the worry this lump is causing.

    If the lump doesn't go down or your symptoms get worse, then it may be worth booking an appointment with your GP to get this checked out as they will be able to examine you and let you know if this is any cause for concern.

    Hopefully that won't be the case, but it's always good to get any unusual or persistent symptoms looked at, if only for peace of mind.

    I'm sure some of our members will offer their thoughts and advice to you soon but in the meantime, our thoughts are with your MissTurner24 and we'll have our fingers crossed for good news.

    All the best,
