Hi all.
I joined and posited in this forum about 6 weeks ago with various issues, which some may remember
Since then I am thrilled to say that I am now the proud father of a beautiful three week old little girl, who is perfect in every way.
Also since my last post I have been to see my new GP about the anxiety who prescribed me a months course of Propanolol to go with the Lansoprazole I was taking for my gastritis/reflux. I'm also in the middle of the treatment for my bad teeth.
All was going well until I came off the meds (I stupidly thought I was feeling better and came off the Propanolol a week early) and now, although I don't feel quite like I'm back at square one, I feel it's heading that way.
Since returning to work most of the initial fears are back, but in particular the lymph node under my left jaw. It's quite strange, if I look straight ahead I can't feel it, if I look up it feels like muscle and if I look down or to the side it feels like a 2cm marble rolling around in there. I don't think it's grown, ,y partner definitely doesn't think its grown (I have to move her fingers to it for her to find it) but it's niggling on my mind again. Also since coming off the lansoprazole the reflux symptoms have returned, although not as noticable. The original cough I had 3 months ago hasn't returned, but I find myself clearing my throat a lot (I'm guessing post nasal drip due to the reflux as I found a nose hair in my phlegm the other day!!)
Anyway, the reasons I'm posting again are to update, and to hopefully have a couple questions answered, as the replies to my last thread were very helpful.
1. If I had anything serious, i'd surely be feeling at least a little bit poorly right? (other than what I've mentioned I'm feeling fine)
2. If I had something serious, one of the three doctors or my dentist who have all felt the gland would have surely suspected something to refer me for further tests?
3. If my node was anything sinister, surely I'd be able to feel it no matter which way my head is aligned?
4. Can anyone advise me on how to stop poking at myself and googling symptoms?
I've started taking the Propanolol again (had some left over) so hopefully I'll feel a bit better again soon.
Thanks for reading :)
