Enlarged Lymphnodes - starting to worry

Hi,

Over the last 2 weeks my Cervical Lymphnodes and also the ones under my skull have swollen and are very visible. Having gone to the doctor he also identified a further swollen lymph under my right armpit. 

Having done full bloods they have come back normal - although he mentioned they look like a low grade virus, ? However I still have a persistent cough and feel exhausted. My Gp rang me today and has arranged an X-ray for tomorrow (no waiting around :/) and further bloods on Monday. 

He has ruled out Glandular fever etc. I’m starting to panic a bit, if the bloods are normal why do we need another set? I had a test 3 weeks ago for unrelated issues and it came back with Nucleated RBCs, these tests are most normal and now they want to do more? 

Please can someone help!! 

Thanks

 

  • Hello Lady1066, 

    I just wanted to welcome you to our forum. Poor you it sounds like you are going through a lot at the moment it must be so frustrating for you. I hope the X ray went well yesterday? It's good they are being thorough and doing all these investigations but it must be quite stressful for you. Hopefully you will get some definite answers soon. 

    Funny coincidence, I just replied to someone today on the forum who was in a very similar situation to you and for whom glandular fever had also been ruled out. You can read [@Anonymous541]‍ 's story here and respond to it if you wish. 

    Best of luck with your remaining tests. I hope you find out more very soon and get to the bottom of this. 

    Best wishes,
