Hey,

The last couple of days I've had a really tender spot in my throat on the left hand side, where you'd usually check your heart rate and I guess where my lymph nodes would be found. It's quite a sharp & tender pain but doesn't hurt when I swallow/talk/move my head. It only really hurts when I apply pressure and when I'm sat still it's like a dull annoying ache.

I've been super stressed and anxious lately and just upped my Sertraline intake from 50mg to 100mg and that's made my anxiety peak although no panic attacks.

I know stress can cause swelling of the lymph nodes, but I'm beginning to freak out a little thinking it's something more serious. Has anyone experienced this before??

Thank you.

I'm dealing with something similar and not sure what it is (you can see my topic for more details). I don't feel any swollen nodes, however. Sorry I cannot help but you aren't alone. Hopefully we can feel better soon.
