A few months ago I went to the ER for chest pain which turned out to be acid reflux. However while at the hospital, the doctors found a swollen lymph node under my armpit. I had no other symptoms and after following up with my GP he decided to just have me back in a few months for a followup.
I tried to make my follow up appointment and the earliest date is a month out. I find myself looking for lymph nodes and think it's in my head as sometimes it's the other side feeling swollen. I have not had any new symptoms. I feel helpless and don't know if I can wait until my appointment without having an anxiety attack.
I was also looking at a girls Facebook page who passed from lymphoma and it scared me.
Can touching your lymph nodes cause them to swell? How do you cope with
a long wait?
Also can swollen lymph nodes be caused by a period?
