Enlarged lymph node
Noticed an enlarged lymph node in my neck, it's been there for almost 5 months now. Have been experiencing shortness of breath and pressure in my chest for a few months now also. Also noticed that I bruise VERY easily, which I have never have done before. Should I be worried?

Enlargement of cervical lymph nodes which is progressively increasing in size needs to be evaluated in detail by clinical examination and sometimes fine needle aspiration cytology to rule out any other causes such as tuberculosis
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist or pulmonologist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
