Hello, 20 year old male here who has a history of health anxiety.
Last night while laying in bed I found, what I assume, is an enlarged lymph node in my armpit. It's about the size of a pea and under my skin (I've felt it enough to be sure it's not just a bump in my skin or anything). This really concerns me as I've not been feeling a 100% as of late. I've had persistent small headaches, I've been seemingly a lot more tired than normal and been cold in normal room temps.
The bump really scares me because in my mind it of course screams cancer. Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and all that. When should I seriously get worried for the bump and when should I really be contacting a doctor about this?
