Question 1

Accepted Answer

Yes if enlarged : Enough.  If it is getting worse medical attention should be sought out.

Question 2

for 6 months: total loss of appetite, swollen lymph nodes, rapid heart beat (110 avg), severe shortness of breath, fatigue. help. feeling like death. ?

Accepted Answer

Need a check up: 6 months of those symptoms require more examinations to rule out overactive thyroid, lymphoma or even emotional causes. Evaluation of lung and heart status is important as well.

Question 3

16 yrs old - nosebleeds, night sweats (occasionally), tired all the time, swollen lymph nodes, leg pain, fever (occasionally), shortness of breath?

Start by seeing: A doctor. You most likely need to have a complete blood count done and a history and physical.

Question 4

Bruising & nodes: What kind of bruising? Where? Any fevers?

Question 5

swollen lymph node in neck for about two months, blood in urine for 3 days, and recent shortness of breath. any ideas as to what's wrong?

Accepted Answer

Go get a checkup!: I'm not certain if these symptoms are linked or not.  Go see a primary care doctor for further workup and testing!  Might be nothing or might be a treatable condition.

Question 6

i have two swollen lymph nodes on my right hip and a knot i have weight loss nausea cannot eat weak getting sick and bruise on my right hip also and the weight loss been going on about 2 years now pain shoot down both legs shortness of breath?

Accepted Answer

: Work up will be needed specifically in the presence of weight loss, start with your primary care doc or at a local urgent care center. Based on findings on exam they will be able to further coordinate.

Question 7

presented w/ chest pain and shortness of breath. ct w/ contrast showed enlarged non-specific mediastinal & axillary lymph nodes. should i have biopsy?

Accepted Answer

Lymph nodes: depending on other symptoms such as fever, sweats and any weight loss, a biopsy may be diagnostic

Question 8

ive been sick for 2 months!! swollen lymph nodes on left side of body. ive been to the dr.s office 3 times.

Accepted Answer

More specifics: Do you mean the swollen nodes at the left side  of the neck and  not the whole body?  If so, it may mean that there is a sinus infection or dental abscess. I can't think of a condition which causes nodes to be enlarged involving much of the left side of the body. Perhaps you need a second opinion by seeing another doctor

Question 9

are swollen lymph nodes visible?

Accepted Answer

Lymph nodes: Not always. Imaging studies like ct scan or MRI often find enlarged lymph nodes that are not palpable.

Question 10

swollen lymph nodes in wide pipe?

Accepted Answer

Wind pipe, u mean?: Enlarged nodes in the chest can be the result of many things, some more serious than others. Rather than speculating and giving you a mile long list, i would suggest you talk to the doc who ordered the scan and ask him/her about the implications of the scan and what to do next. Best to you.
