Night sweats and cancer fears. Help
Posted , 4 users are following.
Sorry everybody. im having hard time controlling my anxiety. Almost 2 week a ago i picked up some viral infection. I had a fever for 2 days and i went to urgent Care. They put me on antibiotics for 10 days and i finished it on Monday. Since the infection started i have been having night sweats (my neck and chest). I already had a panic attack twice when walk up in the middle of the night and felt sweaty. I started to cry and convinced myself it is lymphoma. i went to doctor yesterday to do all my blood work and he said i dont have a swollen lymph nodes but i cant stop thinking about it. please help me.

its too coincidental that u got a viral infection, and now u have night sweats. many other non serious things can cause those besides lymphoma. including virus!Before panicking, do a fact check.
YOUR anxiety is causing u to let fear take over. dont read stuff on google. stay busy and wait for lab result and i think u will be pleasantly surprised all is ok. ❤

ill definitely try that. i need to ease my mind or at least stay busy with something else. I didn't feel that low for at least 3 years nut scary part is that this beast always comes back more powerful than before.

I feel like anytime I've gotten any type of infection where I needed anti-biotics I always get the sweats with it, I'm pretty sure that is just normal. I wouldn't stess over it, like Jan said just wait for the test results that are more then likely just fine and that should calm you down 😃

keeping my fingers crossed. i was hoping they would go away when im done with meds but 14th day and they still around. it seems they are around my neck and upper chest but now i just have to wait until next Wed for my results.

Well your doctor has told you it's not lymphoma so believe it. I am wondering if you are female and how old you are? Is it possible it is the menopause as they cause night sweats and can make anxiety worse. x
