General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hi,
I have read your question and understand your concerns.
Thank you for posting in HCM.
There could be multiple reasons for lymph node enlargement in the neck.
Before establishing a diagnosis, some lab investigations should be performed that include complete blood picture, ESR.
I suggest such patients, FNAC of the lymph nodes that may show any underlying disease.
Wish you good health.
Regards.
Do post again in HCM if you have any further questions.
