Feeling sick by touching lymph nodes?

[mwight87]

Hey all,

I've got myself into a habit of checking my lymph node in my chin, this has of course caused it to swell. I've noticed a pattern when I check too much I can make my self feel sick, I didn't know this was possible? Can this be possible? By checking too much you can actually knock your self sick? Or is this a sign that my lymph node requires medical attention?

Hello
I too had the same habit as yourself which caused me to constantly prod away especially the node under my chin I can honestly say it has never caused me to feel sick but it did cause that area to become painful and the node to slightly swell. I think you are working yourself up into a anxiety frenzy which is causing you to feel sick try to put it behind you and stop the prodding.
All the best.
