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.
