In July 2024 i went to the doctors after noticing a painless, moveable, swollen lymph node in my neck just above the supraclavicular area with no symptoms of illness. I had bloods done and everything was fine apart from a slightly elevated CRP of 15. I was advised to monitor it for 2 weeks for any changes, over time it would shrink and grow again and i would also get a node in my chin flare up. I advised the doctors of this but there were no concerns. I left it at that and have gone about my life but it is still present 2 years later. I had no concerns and had actually forgotten about it until this weekend when i drunk alcohol and got a horrible ache in my chest, it went away after about 30-60mins but the minute i had another drink it came back again. It felt like i had worked my chest at the gym nothing soothed the pain or made it worse other that the drink and it was an ache all across my chest. I do not have any other symptoms other than some dizziness occasionally and crackling in my right ear above the lymph node. I will likely make an appointment with my GP but i also want to know if this is something i should be concerned about? The GP last time told me if it hasn't grown i don't need to be worried so the fact it hasn't grown in 2 years makes me think its impossible to be anything sinister but its the pain drinking alcohol that has made me think maybe it could be serious and i shouldn't leave it. Thank you for reading.
