Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
Small swellings in pineal glands are not uncommon and are of no adverse clinical consequence. Definitely, they would not kill you!

However, you need to be under the follow up of a neurologist/neurosurgeon to assess the size of pineal gland swelling, by doing repeated MRI scans at one year intervals.
I hope it helps.
Please get back if you require any additional information.

Best wishes,
