What Causes A Lump On The Neck Along With Breathlessness And Chest Pain?
Brief Answer:
AIRWAY OBSSTRUCTION
Detailed Answer:
DEAR XXXX,
THANKS FOR YOUR QUERY.
SINCE YOU HAVE GIVEN THE HISTORY OF LUMP IN THE NECK AND DIFFICULTY IN BREATHING AND CHEST PAIN IT SUGGESTS THE PROBLEM IN THE CHEST GIVING RISE TO MEDIASTINAL COMPRESSION OR ANY INFECTIVE PROCESS. A GENERAL PHYSICAL EXAMINATION BY PRIMARY PHYSICIAN IS REQUIRED TO RULE OUT THE OTHER CHARACTERS OF MEDIASTINAL COMPRESSION.
YOU SHOULD ALSO UNDERGO A CT SCAN OF CHEST AND NECK TO FIND OUT THE NATURE OF THE LUMP IN THE NECK. ONCE THIS IS DONE I SHALL BE HAPPY TO ADVISE YOU FURTHER.
TRULY,
DR. J. TICKU
