Mildly Enlarged Right Lower Quadrant Mesenteric Lymph Nodes

Last Jun 2020 I started to have peculiar chest pains and upper abdominal pains. After all sorts of tests I still remain undiagnosed, but one such test was an abdominal/pelvis CT in late December. For the most part the results were normal apart from "mildly enlarged right lower quadrant mesenteric lymph nodes measuring up to 10 mm short axis are nonspecific." I have a follow-up CT next week to check stability of these nodes. Obviously I'm overthinking and fearing scary outcomes, but at the same time I'm wondering if I really should be worried. I'm a 36-year old male, no oncological history, non-smoker, light drinker, I don't have the BRCA gene. My doctor seemed perplexed by the enlarged nodes as I've complained of no pain in the location where the enlarged nodes supposedly are. I remain pain free in that area. Does anyone have any thoughts about these findings that might help ease my mind? I have a chest CT I'll be doing with this follow-up CT. That one I'm more concerned about as it's my initial one and really the only pain I have is chest related at this point.
