Which Tests Should I Undergo For Swelling Above Collarbone On Both Sides?
I have swelling above collarbone on both sides, gell like (very soft & squishy). I have an x-ray which showed nothing. My doctor is doing nothing. What tests should I ask for? Thyroid, Lymphoma, blood work? I am extremely tired all the time and cannot stay awake.

Hello,
I would explain that your symptoms could be suggestive of thyroid gland dysfunction. For this reason, I recommend performing a thyroid gland ultrasound (this test can also help examine the soft tissues in the neck), complete blood count and inflammation tests and thyroid hormone levels. You should discuss with your doctor on the above tests.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
