A member asked:

My girlfriend has been sick for nine months. she complains of lumps on her head, tightness of her throat, difficulty breathing, stiff neck. why?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Time for a visit: This spectrum of symptoms deserves a full history/physical & appropriate testing by someone who knows the patient. Try to schedule a workup within the next week with her doc so the evaluation can begin to track down the issues involved.
