Hi all,
I have been to the doctors over and over since Christmas after getting flu/infection a little too frequently. I was very run down and getting night sweats. Nodes in my neck were also swollen and i had frequent pain/irritation under my armpits and chest too. Doctor told me I had a throat infection and I had a course of antibiotics last week. I am also having a chest echo this Friday to investigate chest pain/irregular heartbeat. The doctor also suspected my symptoms could be caused by anxiety. However I have started getting night sweats again, every night since monday i wake up at around 3am on the dot often drenched in sweat. My nodes are also still swollen and can be quite tender when i move my head. I also have pain in my ears quite often and hot flushes in my face, as well as still having a slightly tender throat. I am worried as i have been to the doctor three times this month and my symptoms are disregarded as anxiety due to having a throat infection. However I have had the antiobiotics now and the night sweats and swollen/tender nodes have gotten worse if anything. All that was eliminated was the sore throat and fatigue which still persists to an extent. What should I do? I want to go the doctor again but I don't know if my symptoms could still be caused by "residue" of the infection and I am missing many mornings from work for appointments. But i fear the longer I leave it the worse any issue could be getting. Thanks guys
