What Causes Fatigue Along With Blackouts And Swollen Lymph Nodes?

Hi, I ve been noticing some strange things, both recent and ongoing. It started with fatigue, black outs (usually lasted a few minutes or so) and passing out, but I started losing a lot of weight, which was weird because my diet has been almost consistent (vegan) for about 7 years... I had blood work done and was told I had too many white blood cells and lymph, nodes were/still are swollen, this was over a year ago. I was told it was probably just a small infection or something and would go away. I noticed maybe about 4-5 months ago one side of my ribs sticks out quite a bit farther than the other and I am still blacking out, dizzy, tired.... I m just not sure if I should worry about it?

I strongly recommend a systemic evaluation with lab parameters, biopsy of one of the suspicious lymph node for microbiology report.
