Specializes in Cardiac Electrophysiology

The lymph nodes you: are indicating are close to the carotid body on that side. This is the blood pressure and heart rate regulator. When you push on that you will slow your heart and drop your blood pressure. Do it long enough or hard enough and you WILL pass out. Potentially you still have some swelling there that is stimulating the area. Ask your health care provider to examine you and determine this.
