Lymph node lumps in neck - same place each side

I've been very worried for a week I've found two lumps 2-3cm long going upwards in the same place on both sides of my neck. I am going to GP tomorrow but very scared at what he will say. I'm very anxious at the best of times but this week I've not been able to think about anything else and sick with worry :(

  • Hello postrm, 

    I hope that your appointment with the Dr went well and that they were able to give you some reassurance about the lumps in your neck. 

    I can see from this, and a previous post, that you struggle with anxiety at times. I'm unsure if this is something that you've discussed with your GP but it may be worth speaking to them to see if you can get some support to better manage this. You might also find the information here and here helpful. 

    Best wishes,

  • He didn’t seem that bothered and said it happens when fighting infection.

    I’m still quite worried though as they've never appeared before when I've been ill and I’ve been feeling quite sick for the past few days too
