Hi I have just found a ping pong ball sized lump on the right side of my neck just above my collarbone...I have had asthma like symptoms for over a year (ended up in hospital twice due to breathing problems).I had blood tests done and my white blood count was higher than it should be but never found out why.I have also been very tired and very pale.My mouth always seems dry and the past fortnight I have been sweating alot more,getting migranes so bad that i feel im going to pass out.What is wrong with me. I am 22 yrs old.Female

The following investigations should be done:
1. USG Neck
2, FNAC (Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology) of your enlarged Rt. Supraclavicular Lymph Node.
3. Chest X-Ray
4. Tuberculin Test (Mantoux Test)
5. Detailed blood investigations (esp. with your high WBC Count!)
6. Sputum for AFB x 3 days
7. CT / MRI Neck + Chest and USG Abdomen may also be considered
Constitutional symptoms such as breathlessness (asthma like symptoms), fatigue, night sweats, migraine headaches could suggest disorders such as tuberculosis, lymphoma, collagen vascular diseases, unrecognized infection or malignancy.
Do you have fever, cough or unexplained weight loss?
Kindly post your test results.
