Few.months back, mine mother got hard swelling on neck. With god grace, all reports came normal and she is fine now
But since then i have developed fear of getting any swelling like lymph node swelling in neck
I keep check ing my lower neck, collor bone area for any swelling.
Sometime , if i feel something hard then i start panic and cry.
My wife then tell me that it could be muscles

I am not able to sleeping due to this. It been two months and keep checking.
My age is 35, no bad habbit like smoking or anything. Weight 98.

Swelling more than 2 cm is important and its recognizable.
So nothing to panic and check repeatedly. Ok
