A member asked:

What do enlarged lymph nodes in the chest feel like?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Varies: In most cases you would feel nothing. It is only when the nodes are significantly enlarged and cause pressure on other areas of the chest that symptoms occur. Symptoms could result in pressure, cough or pain.
