Does Tiredness, Shortness Of Breath, Enlarged Lymph Nodes In Neck Requires Attention?

I ve been very tired lately. And I ve noticed while I m talking or eating I get a shortness of breath and I have to take a few deep breaths to catch my breath. I ve had an enlarged lymph node in my neck for several years and I just found an enlarged lymph node in my cervical region. But I am not sick and I have not had a fever. Should I be concerned and get some testing done?

HI

Thanks for posting your query .

Enlarged lymph node always indicates that there is some problem in the body . It could be due to infection , inflammation , irritation or even cancer .

This associated with your shortness of breath indicates problems in your lungs which needs to be evaluated .

I advise you to get chest X ray , FNAC of the enlarged Lymph node and revert back to me with reports .

Any clarifications feel free to ask .

Regards.
