i became a hypochondriac when i felt my enlarged lymph nodes. The more i researched the more it seemed to get worse
same! google rly makes me worry
Me as well, but a new thing I do is think of the actual worse then Look up the natural remedies...I no longer look up the sickness. My mind can be Graphic.
Same here.
@@mari.chatxowhat happened?
@@knangurbanov2957 i got better i’m perfectly fine now thank god!
Oh gosh. New subscriber. I constantly feel my lymph nodes.. I have one on my neck that stays swollen.. horrible horrible thing to deal with when you have anxiety. I’m so glad I found your channel!
Chelsea’s Corner Hi Chelsea! Thanks so much for your comment and subscription. It is totally bloody awful isn’t it. Lymph nodes nearly drove me to insanity! I hope you feel better soon. 💗
Did it go down? And how are u now?
Tamer Khattab yes it went down a little, it’s still larger than any other ones but my doctor says it’s just the way it is. I’ve come to accept it for now. 😅
Chelsea’s Corner i have a swollen lymph node in my neck and I’m worried but my doctor isn’t

Depends on the structure and accompanying symptoms if you have any and would care to share if possible.
As a recent “discoverer” of your channel, thought I’d listen to this old post. It’s eye-opening, because it really does bear witness to the power of Google and social media to play tricks with our minds and also scare the living daylights out of us (me too being one of these humans). And it’s exactly what your latest video is all about…spoken with the “benefit” of direct personal & painful experience. Great to see the progress you’ve made…and that’s inspiring.
If I see a symptom online after a few days I’ll start feeling it. Really weird what the mind is actually capable of.
Just subbed. Thank you for posting this. Dealing with a lymph node issue myself. Bloodwork fine and seen two docs both said it’s 100% fine (it’s actually normal size just a bit bigger than other side). I start therapy for my health anxiety soon. This year I’ve convinced myself I’ve had a heart attack, kidney failure, brain tumor, skin cancer and now lymphoma.
I feel for you. Have gone through each of them. I'm back to lymphoma
⚠⚠✔Lol I've convinced myself i has so many things smh
how r u did your swollen lymph nodes gone
@@Uraharakisuke10 Hi! Yes all good. I've had a few follow ups and they do a once a year ultrasound to appease me but all good my way. Thanks for asking!
Did your lymp nodes went away
I’m beyond blessed I found your channel. Last month my lymph nodes gave me the biggest scare as they were swollen and I thought for sure it was throat cancer. I’m glad I’m not alone and I really appreciate you uploading this video. Thank you a thousand times 🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼
well how r u
Hi how are u now?
@@reshamsayyed2113 thank you for asking! I’m better but the lymph node is still a bit swollen and it’s strange because it seems to bother me more when I’m eating bad and processed foods. When I’m eating clean and healthy I don’t noticed it and it seems to reduce in size. I will eventually get it checked. Thank you for asking your so sweet!
@@spiritualnomadlife I just got back from the doctor, he found 1 .it hasn't grown in over 1 year so there's that .. I'm getting a ct scan soon
@@spiritualnomadlifehow are you doing now?
I'm so glad i found your channel! I have the same issues like yours it started when i have my first baby. Im having a huge health anxiety fear of dying leaving my child alone. Im crying every night. I also noticed a swollen lymph nodes in my neck right side and one at the back of my neck haven't gone to any doctors im scared i have this for like a month now feels like whenever i touch it by just starring at it, it becomes larger than it was but sometimes it feels like its not. My god. I don't know what to do. Im tired of this lot of thoughts in my mind 😭 I wanted to stop searching on google but i can't huhu
Heidi Valdemoro same like you I care about everything if I have pain in everywhere I scared I have anixity .
Ankit Lallu I cured it easily
Exactly same fear I had which got me panic attacks and now I have 4 swollen lymph nodes in neck (2 like olive sized and 2 peas sized)
Doctors say it’s just swollen nothin else but these are not going from 9 months ! 😭 constantly feelin them give me more anxiety can’t sleep !!
God knows
Bro i have a small one behind my ear and im freaking outtt
When i felt it for the first time i was shaking from anxiety
My parents are yelling at me ..they said that its nothing
AFG Bright how ?
If it’s not one thing it’s another with anxiety. I have been like this for nearly 20 years. Panic attacks have even affected my nervous system and blood pressure. Too much over thinking. The internet is the devil in disguise. Be careful how you use it. Eat well stay well
Thank you so much for this video I’ve had one on my arm pit that I haven’t got checked out but I’ve had anxiety since I been 9 years old but this video really reassured me
how r u
I swear everything u describing is exactly what I’m going thru no joke!!!! It’s 3am where I’m at and I’m going mad thinking it’s the end of days for me I’m suicidal rn
I’ve never watched a video and felt so understood before, thank you for making this❤️
I feel exactly like this at the moment constantly obsessed with my nodes
Jay Lad Hi Jay! Like you, I also became obsessed and it unfortunately made things worse! I was constantly prodding around and any little lump was sending me into huge panic attacks. I’m wondering if you’ve been to see a doctor and if they have been able to reassure you?
Cherelle Thinks i been trying to do research if stress/anxiety can produce swollen lymph nodes, thanks for this confirmation. Been having deep anxiety for months now and my nodes starts flaring up
how r u
Thank you for sharing, I too so many times have let health Anxiety rule my life.
Hi, this sounds so familiar, can’t explain... I’m also a mom, I couldn’t function and take care of my toddler because of the health anxiety. I’ve had an ultrasound and blood work done, went to the doctors again afterwards, and now two months later the lymph node still isn’t gone.
I planned another doctors visit on Wednesday and I want an ultrasound again (I live in a different country now)
All the worries, doubts, not trusting doctors is making me go nuts. It keeps you from enjoying your life, I know exactly what you feel. It’s so hard to explain to others, they don’t understand.
Bionda bvanleijden Hello! Thanks for your comment and I’m really sorry to hear that you’re having worries! It nearly drove me to the brink of insanity! It’s been 18 months and my lymph node is still here so I expect it’s here to stay now. If you don’t mind me asking, did the radiologist tell you the size of the node? When I found out the size of mine it actually really calmed me down since mine was actually a lot smaller than I thought it was!
Cherelle Jordan hello dear. Yes My report states 16,7 mm by 5.8 mm and on the right side I have a similar one which I can’t even feel (must be hidden) and that one is 16,8 mm by 4.4 mm. The report is from the first of November, I went straight to a private clinic, and it’s still there. In the meantime I moved back to my home country - the Netherlands
The doctor in the Netherlands told me not to worry, checked my blood and was ok. I was sent home. But still it’s in the back of my mind... that’s why I made another appointment, planning to get an ultrasound here.
Nothing seems to ease my mind, and it’s always something different as well. I am in contact with a psychologist already, because it doesn’t seem to go away on it’s own.
Xxx
Cherelle Jordan it’s not in my groin but my neck.
Well your measurements are great! Lymph nodes aren’t actually considered to be suspicious unless they’re more than 1cm short axis (diameter) and yours are half that so I would take that as some really great news!
I know how worrying it can be. If another ultrasound would put your mind at ease then I say go for it! X
Cherelle Jordan ah thanks sweetie I really appreciate it. Keep on making videos 🙏🏻
Omg thank you so much for sharing this makes me feel so much better am going through the same thing right know I have a Lymph node on my neck I went to the doctor they just told me it’ll go away in awhile just it’s been 3 weeks it’s driving me crazy I called the doctor again he told be to get an ultra sound done am convinced I have lymphoma my health anxiety it’s so bad I was going through the same thing as you last month I thought I had a brain tumour because of doctor goggle but I survied that and know I have a Lymph node the size of a pea but I think I have lymphoma because of goggle
I'm going through the same thing, just waiting for my ultrasound. Were you able to find out what was wrong after the ultra sound?
I got health anxiety after a real serious health problem. I had a huge brain tumor that went undiagnosed for years and years ( even though I was going to doctors and telling them that something was really wrong) I was told that I had migraines, sinus infections, and was incorrectly diagnosed with bipolar disorder. I finally had a stroke and went to the emergency room and they finally did a mri. I had emergency brain surgery the next day. My scull cut open ( craniotomy) and a long recovery period. My tumor was benign so no further treatment but I had to have mri every year for five years. It’s been seven years now and I have been convinced, like you that I have lymphoma and many other serious health issues. All tests from doctors come back normal but I have tons of symptoms and anxiety all the time. The thing is I have this “ evidence “ of my brain tumor when no one would believe me and it actually turned out I was right and I was, in fact, about to drop dead. How can I possibly recover from anxiety about my health when it was true before? I’m really struggling with this.
HAHAHAHA I hate to laugh but what you said at the end "I've survived lymphoma, I've survived a brain tumour, alzheimers and ALS" is 100% exactly what I have diagnosed myself with too. I found a lymph node in my groin which made me go searching for them everywhere and I found out I had ones in my neck, groin and one in my arm pit that felt like they were 1cm smaller or larger but not by much. I thought I had lymphoma and after all the tests its been 7 months and I am still healthy and fine.. (I still get worried sometimes which is why I am here) I also had diagnosed myself with ALS about a year or two ago cause i had leg pain and numbness but that went away and I have also thought I have had memory issues that were really bad. Also on top of that I have thought I had cirrhosis, intestinal cancer, lyme disease and hepatitis.. I even thought I had Muscular dystrophy because I had upper back pain for a week. All of this sounds funny now but in the moment it is so frightening and real. Apparently my grandpa was the exact same way with thinking he was going to die of something soon (I was shocked to find this out because to me he always seemed calm, in control and very strong. Never saw him show negative emotion) and he lived to 85 super healthy right up to the end. Health anxiety or hypochondria are a very terrible thing...
Wow😂..I hope you're good today?
How are you
I've had a very similar journey. Once my mother was diagnosed with GBM brain cancer I started getting the groinal lymph nodes. Ever since she's passed they've only gotten worse
😢☹️😢 why this cancer is taking peoples lifes we cannot live because of cancer. Health anxiety and all are because of this cancer. The cancer should be stopped
OMG! SAME STORY HERE! I was sure, so many months that I have lymphoma, slow growing, I also asked, my mon, Sister, doughter, husband, close friends, to let me feel their lymph nodes... And was surprised to notice that all of them have The same, or bigger lymph nodes... But I was The only one that was going to all dictors, make blood test, etc etc. I have a friend that is medic and she was The only one, that told me to GO to psihologist, because I Am anxios. AND I've told her, noooo, i'm not... I realy have this swallen node, it's not în my imagination... AFTER TWO years, I realiste that she was right
Hey do can you feel multiple?
How are you now
@@jahnavimehta how are you now
@@Random_Butts I have few swollen nodes
@@jahnavimehta can u tell me you upper skin is swollen like h bump aur grapes sixe
Thanks so much for sharing. You need to know how much this makes everyone realise it’s not just them
Same here! I went to the doc and she said mine was less then 1cm which isn't worrisome... But it has been there for 2 months! I keep fiddling with it causing myself to worry even more. Lol😊
Omg same
@emily-dong how r u now? And how 1 cm size is calculated?
what is funny s how we become "doctors" we study to the very end 😢 and memorize everything , as if we were students to be doctors... but It is killing us , my started for a swollen lymph too ... finally after yrs I went to the doctor and he told me that I should not worry about any of that ... but i still get worry sometimes , plus I have panick attacts and anxiety 😢 i sometimes I wake up feeling bad , really bad as if i just want to sleep and run crying at the same time , hopefully we all can heal soon ❤
Omg do I have health anxiety?! I can’t help it! I’ve self diagnosed myself with so many things and i feel my doctors are bs and are mixing up tests!!!!
Jessica B. I am feeling the same!!
Glad i found this. i;m male, 50 and found two swollen lymph nodes on the right of my groin a few weeks ago. I've had bloods done, drs examination and nothing is coming back as a red flag. i'm not having any other symptoms. Again, i'm thinking lymphoma after googling it. I'm at the point of going private to get the peace of mind from it. I'm under a lot of stress at the moment and recently had a tooth abscess root canal procedure. I'm the same with the googling. It's hard to ignore it.
Settled a good bit now, thanks. I think it's re assuring that everything came back clear. Now it's a matter of keeping focused on other things and being less anxious about health issues. I guess the health perspective comes in with the overall general anxiety.
I'm struggling with this as well, it's nice to know i'm not alone!
aquamarina Sorry to hear you are also struggling with this! It really can be a living nightmare. I hope you feel better soon. If you ever need to chat please feel free to message me! My Instagram is @cherellejordanfarrugia
@@cherellethinks I am really very tensed about my swellen lymph node in my groin area since about 2 months.I did ultrasonography of the low abdomen area.The report impression is in below👇🏻👇🏻
Both groin -- lymph node seen in both groin region measuring about 0.94×0.31 cm.
Impression -- Lymph node seen in both groin region.
Dona sarkar Hi Dona!
Sorry you are worried about this.
I can’t read your ultrasound report because I’m not a doctor or medically trained at all! I wouldn’t want to advise you of anything. What has your doctor said? The measurements seem small which is good!
@@cherellethinks first of all thank you for the reply❤️
I have consulted with a general medicine doctor.he has said that lymph node of my groin area of Both groin region is swellen.it has been swellen about 2 months.it's not too hard and a little moveable under skin.
--Should i consult with a general surgent?
-- which specialists doctor should i visit for the problem?
Please suggest me what should I do!!
@@cherellethinks Could swelling lymph node be risky for life?
In any condition !!!!
At 1st i thought I have a brain tumor then eye cancer like 4 days ago I thought I have lymphoma and now I think I have thyroid cancer and also salivary gland cancer. I think I have like 3 cancers at the same time. I'm going insane my mom is tired of me
Same im was having bloatedness for a month and i have been whining.. now i have a lump in my nose and im so worried so i told my mom... she gave up on me 😅
Same :( mine is swollen on top of colar bone I’m so scared
Stop googling... N keep yourself busy in work
@@slimmbabyy3080 hi, how are u now? Is it still palpable?
I’ve survived several mental illnesses, colon cancer, everything coronary and now? There’s an enlarged node behind my ear and guess what I’m positive that is? This is so draining
I thought I had lymphoma in my arm pit, thing is I never had them swell up, I kept touching my lymph nodes over and over with horrible anxiety, I went to the doctor and we had a good laugh. Lol hope you find bliss because health anxiety isn't easy, its a constant battle a battle within yourself.
Sad God Thanks so much for your comment. I kept touching mine constantly which of course made everything worse! My doctor thought I was bonkers when I told him point blank that I had Lymphoma. Anxiety really is awful! Thank you!
Hlo bro
I have lump under my armpit for about 3 weeks and its about 5 mm big and its hard and not moving is it concerning??plzz reply🙏🏼🥺
@@sabari7422 how are you now 😭

What were your symptomps
@@hechemest1941 fever came with a cold, weight loss, a lot of weight loss i was skinny like 9% bodyfat. The nodes were huge, size of a ping pong ball, tiredness
@@cozmin1424 hope you will be fine now.
What was the size of lymph nodes and if these were painful or painless?
I am really scared about my father. Done his biopsy yesterday. Hope all will be fine. But I am really scared.
@@saqibnadeem3228 Hi there, thank you it went away after 8 months of chemo... The lymph nodes i had were around... 3cm, they were painless but i couldn't move my neck because of them, they could move around when i squeezed them, but no pain
I cry Everyday . I’ve found 2 under my jaw 3 years ago . I was nervous at the moment and Now I found one more under my chin . I told my mum she said It’s okay but I’m not satisfied. I cry cry cry and I don’t have anybody to talk about it ...
Hey! I experiencing the same as you ! so feel free to talk about it with me ! I know that talking really helps, especially when the other person is going through the same thing !
I. Bes well !! How can I contact you?
Me too! Same as you. Two lympnode under my jaw & a pea sized under my chin 😭😭😭😭 it’s been 3 to 4 months :(
Carla Palmos Finally I’m not alone !! Mine is about a month now ( still the same size ) . I went to see the doctor and did a blood test and he said I’m fine but I’m still living with the fear of lymphoma!! I hope we get through it
Hey don’t worry you’re fine! I’ve had 3 swollen for about 2 years and was terrified. But I found out that they can also swell if your body is fighting off fungus. I’ve had a very stubborn athlete foot that won’t go away with over the counter medication and I don’t have health insurance :(
Thank you for making this video!!
I am obsessed with touching my neck after finding a lump on my neck.. i keep feeling all these little lumps and bumps and im not sure if its me . I have been reading so much about lymph nodes. I feel like im going insane. Cant tell if its my muscle or a bump .
Ugh same i went to see 3 doctors last week they all said it's nothing ,but i didnt believe them and I'll be seeing my 4th doctor today. Idk something keeps telling me i have cancer
And I keep touching them and messing with them I just can't stop touching them
@sumika fujieda yes mine isn't visible too I've had it since I was a kid. My tonsils were always asymmetrical. I'm just so worried like I keep touching my neck and jaw I keep on looking in the mirror to see if they've enlarged or something I also keep on messing with my salivary glands I'm tired of myself
@sumika fujieda and now I'm obsessed with my thyroid glands 🤦♀️
@sumika fujieda my doctor said stop messing with your neck and jaw you're making them swell up
i’m 16 and i just discovered a small swollen lymph node in my armpit, i’ve gotten better at not looking up everything on google but I just thought one question can’t be bad however it led me to lymphoma, my mom won’t take me to the doctor and i’m still nervous i went to my school nurse friday with my friend and she thought i was fine but she said she’s not a psychiatrist however she says it’s normal for the lymph nodes to inflame even though i feel perfectly fine.. the lump is pretty small about a pea shape and it’s high on my armpit, it’s been here for 4 days now and i’m not sure what to do everytime i talk to my mom she shuts the conversation down and takes my phone she also just keeps calling me a hypochondriac
Ok because I’m going through the same thing how are you now?
Same thing for me now, got 2 lymph nodes around pea sized in my right arm pit that I noticed like only recently and have been dealing with health anxiety around lymphoma for months now, sent me spiralling again after I felt absolutely fine the other week and here I am again, nervous wreck over lymph nodes thinking I have lymphoma
Sorry for the late response! I’m fine now I ended up going to a doctor incase it was anything bad and he told me to watch it for another 2 weeks to see if it would get any bigger harder or more painful but i’m fine now! 🥰 I would still suggest to maybe see a doctor it can’t hurt!
@@laurenkathrine9381 thanks for the reply - I think I will for these in my arm pit, they’re only the size of around a pea, not particularly hard or big but there’s 3 of them I think, and they were quite tender, I’ve just started CBT for health anxiety, wish this mindset would go away asap, I have good and bad days, but yeah I think I’ll try get to the doctors tomorrow for them as this phobia around lymphoma has been around for ~4 months (no lymph nodes have grown whatsoever in this time scale) before it was some lymph nodes in my neck which the ultrasound came back normal reactive benign and not even swollen apparently, I’ve got another one booked for June 9th so hopefully that clears it all up and the therapy helps the anxiety because it’s crippling, only 19M and it’s putting my life progression on halt
- just measured and the lymph nodes are all around 1cm in size, and lymphoma swollen ones go up to like the size of a grape, even my biggest lymph node is probably only around 1.5cm, I really need to let this fear go to move on in life haha! Wish you the best and glad you had a good outcome!
@@AV_204how are you now I found one lump in my arm pit very small and don’t know what it is
I have health anxiety too. Anytime I go for a colonoscopy, mammogram, or any other screening test I get panic attacks. A few of my lymph nodes behind my left ear are swollen and I feel intense fear
If you want to reduce health anxiety do breathing. It will help you alot.
Just had a baby myself almost 6 weeks ago and have recently found a swollen lymph node under my jaw, I went to my gp who said its the size of a bean and movable so at the moment she is not concerned, she said to come back in 6 weeks but sooner if it grows and then she will arrange some tests eg bloods and scan, I asked her if she thought it could be something sinister and she said she doesn't know, so at this point I burst into tears she looked at me all shocked and said "you need mental help book with the mental health team on the way out" I'm not even kidding, this was just over a week ago and all I have done is cry, I feel like a crappy mother because I'm up all night crying and asleep half of the day, I cant focus on anything but cancer/lymphoma, I do not understand why the 6 week wait and I'm slowly driving myself crazy, I'm also anemic so I'm putting 2 and 2 together and coming up with lymphoma every single time, I can't stay off Google, but watching these videos really help, 16 years with health anxiety but this time I think I've hit my lowest point, I'm so glad I watched this tonight ❤️
omg I feel the same way. I had swelling on my legs, and fingers cracking and some pain, took blood tests and doc said i had some infection. I had untrasound of neck area and I was told I had two lymph nodes. I am doing a lot of googling and it makes me feel horrible. I remembered my cat scrathing me and biting me. Was that the reason for my infection, I still dont know what is the problem. Today my one side of my neck feels a bit swolen. I am so frightened.
For five years I've been able to feel my lymph nodes in my groin, neck and under chin. My lymph nodes are about the size of pea to the size of a bean. I'm concerned about on in my under chin that feels bigger. This week my skin has been itching a bit only at night. IDK. I suffer from anxiety and I'm starting to become suicidal
Please don't mate..I promise you'll be okay❤
Same here
I also have 2 under the chin
And also in left and right side of the jaw
Hi there, how is it now?
@@sunzipgurung7144 how r u did u do scanning
how r u did u do scanning
I had a few flare up in my armpit for weeks after a flu shot. They were painless and firm which they say is bad. They eventually went away. Scary though. Have one permanently hardened in front of my right ear too. Question though: Did you have health anxiety before the lymphoma scare? I'm going though a similar experience, but i've never had this type of anxiety before. Gone 30 years of my life without health anxiety but in the last 5 months ive self diagnosed myself with 10 different diseases.
mikester9er i have a hard one in the front of my ear too!
mikester9er how long after the shot did you notice it ?
@@maxjayne399 First noticed like 2 weeks after my shot. I imagine they swelled up before I noticed them. I wouldn't have noticed if I wasnt already having health anxiety and trying to feel all my dang nodes lol. Took 3-4 months for them to subside.
Also had dizziness 2 days after the shot, which made me really afraid. My doctors weren't at all surprised of my reactions and def beleive it could be from the vaccine.
mikester9er omg I’m having the same damn thing but mines not the flu shot ! Just glad to see someone else had this type of a reaction to a shot, i saw a dr and he wasn’t concerned
@@maxjayne399 Well a vaccine is essentially giving your body a little bit of the virus/bacteria, so it actually makes sense lymph nodes are active when creating the immune response. Most people just don't notice because they're not randomly feeling up their armpits lol.
Your story sounds exactly the same as what I am going through. I have a firm lymph node in the right side of my groin. Went and had blood and an ultrasound. Said the node was just a normal reactive node. I felt better, but then found a whole load of lumps on my lower back, and I mean a load, between 8-10 moveable lumps of all shapes and sizes. I went into a full blown meltdown, literally crying constantly, feeling sick, not sleeping. Went to the doctor and she told me they were lymph nodes and that it was fine (this was not fine for me to hear). I’ve since found out that there are no lymph nodes in that area of the back, so I have no idea what that doctor thought. I’ve been called back to the doctors on Friday, I have absolutely no idea why and I am very nervous. I think the bumps in my back are lipomas because they are quite squishy. I also like yourself, asked my mum if I could feel her back and I found two lumps in the same place as mine that were very similar, so that made me feel better. Fingers crossed I can get a scan on them to find out what is going on. You’re not alone, I’ve been fighting health anxiety for a good few years now, and it really does ruin you when you are in a spiral. I wish you all the best of luck with your mental health, we will get through this!
MissNikNak Hey! Thanks so much for your reply and really sorry to hear that you’re going through this also. It really is terrifying isn’t it. And for some reason Google is a NIGHTMARE when it comes to lymph nodes. However, shotty lymph nodes (hard permanent lymph nodes) are very common in the groin area and researching that has since calmed me down. Like you, I also went looking for more once I found the one in my groin. I found 3 in my neck, one near my collarbone which scared the living crap out of me, one behind my ear and one on my skull. I had a complete breakdown and went back to the doctor and demanded a biopsy. He refused and told me that because I’m thin I can just feel every lump and bump. This was about six months ago and none of the lumps have grown. Lipomas are very common so you may just be feeling a load of those! But the fact that they move is really great and that they are squishy. I bet you’ve had them such a long time, you’ve just never looked for them! Wishing you all the best for your appointment. I am certain you will be absolutely fine!
Hey is everything ok? Literally have the same back bumps and groin bumps
MissNikNak Hi! What were those lumps?
Thanks!

i am suffering in my death anxiety and then this lymp nodes of mine getting bigger. ( i wasnt really sure if its cancerous or what) but may anxiety attacking me since i had a check up.
im thinking that i want to live,
where do i get the money if i need a surgery,
i have a son i want to see him grow, i love him very much.
i dont want to be a burden to any one.
i just cry alone.
why this is happening to meeee. i want live.
its so hard.
jenelyn delacruz You are gonna be fine!! Maybe they're growing because you keep touching them. Anyway, you should have at least an ultrasound and be seen by a doctor. Even if you have something, there will always be people willing to help you. Don't worry so much! Anxiety is so bad!!
I used to stress a lot. It's been more than a year since I discovered my lymph nodes and I am perfectly fine. Just don't think so much about it! You will be fine!

I cant help but feel depressed of what it might be, and that it makes me realize that my life is not worth living anymore .. now that I have this...💔 (I really want to get it checked , but I cant afford for a check up...)
Can you swell up your lymph nodes? Because i remeber just touching my neck because i was worried about lymph nodes and didn't stop until i found a swollen lymph node
Same I’m curious
I DID THE SAME THIIIING LMAO
If you do mess with them they can swell up and apparently not go away. I did the same because my dentist checked if I had them but I didn’t at the time
Me at the moment

@@iriszahra.khow are you now???
I suffered 2 weeks of stress and 1 week anxiety, my right lymp node hurts but no swelling.
black panther bro your lymph node could be hurting because you keep fiddling with it
Same thing happen to me..
Leave it alone dude
Yall lymph nodes still there guys ? After a year has passed?
Davis Natty Gainz mines never went away
@@ThuyTran-sg7fq after how long
I feel pain on my lower right jaw for 24hours, but no swelling.
black panther Hi! Have you been to the doctor to get checked out? Could be a number of things! You may have a bit of a viral infection that is causing your lymph node to be a bit sore!
Yh....it feel sore becos of infection...and if it not swollen but pinching it is definitely caused by anxiety, over simulation or infection
How did this go? I have the same thing
Thank you so much for your videos! I went to the doctor today for a lymph node I can feel in my left armpit. He felt it & said he didnt think it was anything sinister at all & not to worry - that he thinks it is just a “reactive lymph node” but he said he would refer me for ultrasound to put my mind at rest. Should I be worried😱 does the ultrasound how if its normal or not? Sorry to comment on such an old video, I hope you see this❤
I’ve suffer from health anxiety for two years.
I currently have visibly swollen area on my
Left rib. I felt it and it felt like a movable and painless lymph node. It was sensitive the day before. I was about to feel two. I felt some on my right rib as well but this wasn’t as swollen.
I had painful swollen lymph nodes in my armpits they went away kinda… i mean the pain went away, the lymph node is there but very hard for me to find.
I also have some swelling in my Neck, and clavicle. Feels like fluid in a sac and moveable. The one in my clavicle been there a while and my Dr barely touched it and said it was fine. It has not increased in size.
I’m terrified of Lymphoma!
Also, my left hard has been weak occasionally. I had a rash and small rash on my arm. It was very itchy…. It’s healing now.
My issues is I am not sure if with cancer it would just get worse or if it would come and go.
May i ask, your lymph nodes are painless to touch?
Currently I am dealing with it . I had lymph node at my neck behind ear and my dad also have same size and same my doctor reassured me that its just swollen lymph nodes and done with blood test all came back normal I am freaking out please help me .....
How are you now
Is vaccine cause lymphnodes? I've got my rabies vaccine 3rd dose and on the following day ive observed a bean size lymphnodes supravascular nodes...is it normal?
Thank you for sharing. This really helps
If has more than one lymph nodes at ur neck n under ur ear.. are that’s a normal lymph nodes.. the sizes was not big.. the size around 1 cm only..
Hi there, have you found what those are?
I have swollen something on the back of my neck and my two armpits for 5 months and I can't sleep for 5 months now I'm so scared. I kept going back to my doctor bc I got sick and I was worried bc my lymphocytes count was 14 percent and the normal range is 20-40% but my doctor didnt say anything about it
JL hey how are u now bud
I'm just glad I found your channel. I was also and still down the same road experiencing the same thing but with the worry of having HIV hahahahaha. Its nearly a year now and Doctor google has fucking ruined my life. Even after tests came negetive I still thought I had HIV. We should petition google... Anyway, I just subscribe and left a big thumbs up. And by the way, you look cute too :)
Where did your lymph nodes swell
I just got the news that my both lymph nodes in my neck are swollen and I’m really scared. Major anxiety sufferer. I’m even afraid to get a ct scan because of my worry about radiation exposure since my doctor wants me to have it with contrast. Ugh’ I hate health anxiety.
What did you end up doing?
Got the ct scan with contrast and regret it so bad. I feel like a victim in the medical system and feel as though they just had me do it to drain my insurance :/ don’t think it was necessary at all. I think a better rout would’ve been to keep monitoring my lymphnodes for any change in size, I highly suspect covid vaccine made them swollen and they just never went back down. Cried and was depressed for weeks after I got the ct not only because of radiation but I also got a major allergic reaction to the contrast that lasted a month. Would never do it again. I’m trying to detoxify my body (don’t even know if this is possible) by eating tons of healthy food.
@Liz Gil oh no, I'm supposed to schedule mine tomorrow.. I have one lympnode in the back of my neck by my hairline, which hasn't changed in monthsssss and no other symptoms. But the doctor said just in case
Yeah, doctor said just in case as well. I regretted doing mine but I also think that if I wouldn’t have done it I would’ve been anxious about the what if’s… so I knew I was not going to be at peace no matter what :/ it’s part of my severe health anxiety. If you do get it done with contrast drinks lots of water after the appointment so you can drain all the contrast out of your system. I also had two cranberry juices right after since they say they help detoxify the body. In addition to that, I had tins of leafy greens and berries for a whole week. Idk if that helped or not but it sure gave me a sense of control over the situation. I do feel better about it now though. My mom had had tons of scans one after another and she’s okay, thank God.

I have a swollen lymph node in my groin as well, I’m going to the doctor tmr to have it looked at..I’m nervous yet hopeful that it will just be my mind like always.
how r u did u do scanning
Wat happen
I just have pain in the lymph nodes but no swelling whats happening
How are you feeling now?
Can a knee surgery cause a node to swell and not come back down? I have a node thats slightly larger on the side that i had an ACL surgery on about a decade ago. Ive been practicing intermittened fasting and have been losing some weight. I became aware of the node in my groin. ive watced your videos on the node sizes. Everything seems to be alright but i do have some anxiety over it. My mother died last year of cancer. Started as a skin cancer and ended up spreading all over her body. So that has made me wanting to take better care of myself as i just turned 40.
Makes total sense! Lymph nodes swell in response to infection and injury:)
@@cherellethinks Thanks for the response and the videos. Congrats on your therapist position. Videos helped alot putting things into perspective. I feel a bit of healthy anxiety is alright. Made me re evaluate my health and habits. Its always better to be educated on these things than to be ignorant of them.
I know I'm a hypochondriac but I'm certain its caused by a brain tumor
o man I am so tensed 4 months back, I was 100 percent sure I had appendicitis, 3 months back I was so sure I had Crohns disease, 2 months back I was so sure I had Migraines, A month Back I was so sure I had brain Tumour, Since past 3 days I am so so sure I have lymphomatic cancer
Takshashila I’ve gottten much better now. The mind can be our own worst enemy.
I was detoxing everyday from knowing we were being sprayed with barium, strontium, aluminum from the sky.
Then I was trying to reduce the amount of electro magnetic frequencies I was using from cell phones.
Avoiding GMO’s in my food as much as possible
All this even gave me more stress so I still detox and try to live a healthy lifestyle by going to gym, getting enough sunlight and avoiding negativity.
But we are living in a kill grid
@@stever507 mine I know it's from tmj, right now lypmp hurts 😭, I UA-cam it they say water can help not to get swollen
@@luffysantiago8166 what if you try fasting ? That may help
@@stever507 ill try it, thanks
I’m going through the same thing I have these little bb things in my groin but you can move them around they have been there since I was little I always get in this rut of thinking I have cancer had blood work a few times I have to tell myself if it was something I would know since I’ve had them over 7 years
That’s suppose to be there. Those lymph nodes are suppose to be bigger than the other ones.
I love this video
Now I’m gonna think I have follicular lymphoma 😞
How are you now
Are you ok
How are you now
Pls tell
Thanks a lot.
It’s been six months for me too. And honestly it got okay, but then I got an ingrown hair and decided to pull it so of course there was an infection and then it got cured but my lymph node remains enlarged; the more I touch it the more it seems larger. I know I am okay but that’s the logical part of me; the stupid part of me thinks I have lymphoma.
Same
Update???
How are you now
I've suffered 2yrs from health anxiety, sometimes i feel feel so lazy everytime i tried to think about my health issue.
ohh, did u got vaccinated? I just got my first dose yesterday. Hope ur doing good, getwell.
@Aditya Malode how about your swollen lymph node? Is it gone?
@Aditya Malode we're the same, but sometimes it feels like bigger bc i always press it hehe
I am with you ❤
Same here darling
Same condition
Me a act samee thing omw, I'm even convinced I have hiv, with over 30 negative tests over the span of 6months, now I think it's lymphoma coz my nodes feel way swollen but the docs says it's normal but they never did a scan yet, I'm so worried
How are you now
@@Uraharakisuke10 well I'm actually OK rite nw, still a small bit of anxiety but I am hiv negative, but it's still a battle, a very tough battle, almost felt like I wanted to commit suicide, but honestly praying and God really pulled me through, how are you?
@Tarryn Prinsloo
i have many swollen lymph nodes and I don't have any symptoms
@@Uraharakisuke10 hey if u feel u need to hit me up privately u can, if u Wana, but if u got tested and it has been 6weeks after the exposure and it was negative, u r negative than ask ur doc to check it out coz then something else is the cause of it. I thought I had lotsa symptoms to, I seriously went for over 50tests in the span of 7months and not 1 came back postive, not 1,ite a scary ass ride to be on, wow I don't even like thinking about it, but if u needed to talk let me know. GOD BLESS YOU 🙏
Where were they swollen?
Do shotty lymph nodes can be in one region?
Now I have consulted with doctor but he says it's a re active lymph nodes. I have a light fever now I am ok with fever n lymph egg are slowing down
Does anxiety cause pain in lymph nodes ..?
Pain in lymph node is usually from the fact you’re fighting an infection
why in the world do you need to wait so long in the UK for something as simple and uninvasive as an U/S? In Canada we have a public healthcare system and at most clinics you simply walk in with a referral and you can sometimes get in the same day. Granted, I live in a major city, but I have family in smaller markets who work in health care and the wait is rarely longer than a week.
Kyle Piercey Right? I live in Romania and it's the same. I can have an ultrasound in the same day!!
Is it normall when your lympnodes is not visible ? but i can touch them?
Normal
Me too It’s in the middle of my neck
Update i have same issue and i am very scared
@sumika fujieda google always say its cancer 😑
@sumika fujieda i think its nothing... all people have same almost ...
Please just once I want to consult with you about lymph node
Does anybody have ONE singular swollen node?
Yes I do , going to get a ct scan
@@brendalove1230 HOW IT GOES?
@A K so It was a lymphonode, but it came back as normal, I can still feel like it but everything came out normal 🙏
@@brendalove1230 that's reassuring thx for the reply

a very very important video ..just that your camera is so shaky ..thankyou for sharing i need to hear this..same as me i have felt the same things over the last two years
you are the epitome of beauty
I have exactly the same problem... :(
Djeah_izi So Sorry to hear! I hope things get better for you soon!
Would anyone know if anxiety and depression cause swollen lymph nodes?
Constant high stress and anxiety could be a factor, when your very stressed or anxious your immune system can go into overdrive so in a way it makes you ill uno the common cold like symptoms, I had a bad throat infection round 5 years back caused loads of mine to swell doctors weren’t concerned and said yep throat infection so I took the antibiotics and in around 2 weeks they’d gone down, I’m a very slim guy always have been so my neck is basically just skin I can still feel most my lymph nodes to this day, it seems that when they enlarged they shifted a bit like more out of the tissue and surrounding muscle so they now feel more prominent but you can’t see them by just looking at my neck ones there about the size of a pea or baked bean, have just been dealing with what I suspect is covid me and my GF both feeling it just discovered another tiny one that feels soft moveable and a bit tender which is more than likely indicating the virus is still present or it could be that I have a insect bite right next to the location of this node which the swelling of that area which is sore could just be making that one react a bit, or I could be getting tonsillitis or a standard sore throat again which is a likely candidate so Yh some of them you’ll feel some of them u won’t try and understand the characteristics of what is normal and what’s not, I also struggle with bad anxiety and for a long time I convinced myself it wasn’t normal and it scared me but it’s been 5/6 years with no change and feeling someone else’s neck can kinda reassure you that they can be felt, there also probably gonna feel bigger to you as you can’t process it properly, get someone else to check and they’ll likely tell you they can’t feel or see anything let out a breath and relax with I’m struggling but we get there
i went to the doctor earlier today (may 12,2020)
i have lumps in my amrpit getting bigger.i thought it was just a cyst that can be remove.
the doctor said it is possible that this could be a cancerous, if that the i must have operation and get my boobs remove.but for now i had scheduled for breast ultrasound.
gosh i am overthinking this time im crying. the problem is this is cancerous where iam get the money to have a surgery. i dont want to die my son still young
Omg I’m so sorry you’re going through this I hope everything is okay.

My upper gum in the mouth is pain
Anyone ever felt them in their arm pits? Like just towards the bottom, around pea sized maybe a tiny tiny bit bigger than a pea, fairly rubbery, have only really noticed them for a few days now and trying not to spiral like I have done with lymph nodes already this year
How are you now I currently have this in the middle of my armpit
Can it kill you-? How to remove it-?
I have a hard lymph node on left neck for last 3+ years. I am very worried..... Alwz passing through nightmare . it did not go down with antibiotic.
did u doo scaning
@@Uraharakisuke10 yea i have done usg in march, and it was cysticirosis, now its gone with medicine .
I hate tmj with lymph node :(
Did you feel your lymph node bigger than it was?
I had an ultrasound today and my lymph node is 5.7 mm in short axis, but when I touch it I feel like it is 9-10 mm . Now I am stressed that maybe he measured another smaller lymph node that I can’t feel...
Andreea Ramona oh gosh yes I told my doctor that mine was huge and definitely bigger than 1cm short axis but mine was 5.4mm! So pretty teeny!
Cherelle Thinks Thank you for answering me. So glad I found your channel!
I have swollen lymph node just below my left jaw! Not seen a doctor for 2 years after my last visit. The doctor that i saw said nothing to worry. It popped in and out all these time. Im still alive i dont feel anything . Not sure now if i need to worry.
I have nasal allergy problems so was thinking it got to do with it.
I don't want to spend a lot of money seeing doctors and give wrong diagnosis.
Miss Edz Exactly same I have 2 swollen lymph nodes under my jaw shaped like olive sized and it’s been 1 yr and not gone just feelin them 😭 !!
Doctors say it’s just swollen !! Why don’t they just go
Sam Kaur Maybe they are just swollen. I have mine swollen for more than 1 year, they are still there. Sometimes I worry a lot.. but I just got used with them. The doctors say there's nothing to worry so maybe there really isn't.
Do you have any symptoms?
Do you suffer from pain
One thing I've noticed is that it severally messes with my confidence level in my body and it lowers how much I put myself out there to find someone knowing that I have these swells
Ok so hear my story
I had lymph nodes from many years
But when I got smartphone and internet at 2016 I got to know about and got scared because shows many things
I went to doctor 2 times he said you are fine then I was ok
And again in 2020 lockdown happens my health anxiety started again
So started thinking about my lymph nodes again again and this anxiety makes me touch my lymph nodes many times
Then one day I told myself don't touch it.
So after 1 week I checked that at night before sleeping I was shocked
My lymph nodes size increase double.
I have 2 lymph node behind my left ear
And 1 behind my right ear
And 4 very small small lymph nodes behind the head.
Now I don't know what to do
I am so scared.
i have same with u...
but Im only behind my both ear. ask a doctor, but she said its fine. but im still worry becoz it feels hurt a bit
So...what did u do now?
@@melindainformasipropertiag5180 they are still there
I am fine
And happily I am coming back to normal life
I would not say I am 100% back.
But at least 50% I am back to my normal life.

But sometimes I touch and get depress
But slowly slowly I am recovering.
