So ironically, tomorrow I have my first bout of CBT for this health anxiety that's plagued me for years. But I've been having night sweats and just found a swollen small lymph node in my neck - at least that's what I've persuaded myself it is, I can only feel it when I dig down.
I got diagnosed with health anxiety a while back when I rushed to A&E with chest pains certain I was about to have a heart attack. As soon as they told me I was fine, the chest pains went away.
But the anxiety was back bigger than ever today at work whilst I was Googling away my symptoms, obviously resulting in cancer. My point is, can swollen lymph nodes be a sign of anxiety? As I've had symptoms before just by worrying about them, could this be one?
Please someone help!
