Weird feeling / lymphoma worry please help

Hey I'm 22 year old male and for the past 3 months I've had the strangest sensations, it's almost like my legs become super light and it feels odd sometimes to walk on toes and stuff. My body becomes light also at times. The legs seem to happen everyday. I have serve Anxiety problems my whole life . I don't know if this is what is causing it but it's totally changing the way I live.

Over the past year I develop eyes floaters but went to eye doctor last week and he said I have perfectly healthy eyes except needed glasses.

I've had small pea size lymph nodes about 10 of them 2 on neck 1 in each armpit and 4 in groin and one under chin I can feel since I was at lead 13 when I remember finding them they have never changed size or grown, and now my anxiety is freaking out thinking this is lymphoma and they way I feel is from that, but anytime I try and talk to someone about it they tell my I'm riduclous and if I had lymphoma for 8 years I'd be dead by now. I'm really freaking out. They only new lymph node which I think is a lymph node appeared under armpit 2 years ago after I shaved armpit for first time, it's about 1.5 cm and extremely movable and never changed size since that day, very easy to find for me I can grab it in fingers.

Everyone just brushes me off when I tell them about all this they all tell my I'm crazy. I'm worried I have lymphoma or brain Tumor what do you guys think.

I have been taking small doses of Valium but all it does is make me pass out

    Hi Beauch22.  Im sorry you feel anxious & worried about lympth nodes.. I dont know much about medical issues but I do know a lady who had massive lymphoma that grew so quickly..  So your Dr prescribed you valium to make you feel more settled?  I guess you have had your lympth nodes checked by your GP & tests done?  Hope you find some answers Beauch22 so you can relax & not have to worry so much confused

      8 years is a long time in between last visit to see your Doctor..  It would bring you peace of mind just to have it checked out Beauch22.. Im sure you will feel less worried & causing you anxious moments.. Ignore those people who call you crazy & fob you off ok..  You are important & so is your health, mind & life..   lol

      One of my issues though is the anxiety to go to doctors. I just built enough to go to eye doctor because I was always worried they would find a brain Tumor.

    Your problem is that you have not seen a doctor in 8 years. Medical conditions change as you grow older. If you really seek a cure then it's time you see a medical professional who can help you an stop worrying.

      My anxiety is going to doctors and getting told I have cancer or some disease that is gonna end my life. My girlfriends mom works in a cancer cell lab and told me she's never seen something as small as mine turn out to be cancer.

      Would the lymph nodes keep growing? How would they feel ? Does anyone else feel there's? . I have no other symptoms that they say lymphoma does. They have never changed shape or size.

    Everyone has lymph nodes smile they are a part of our immune system!  Some people's are easier to palpate than others'. Are you on the thin side? Mine are always palpable. Sometimes bigger sometimes smaller, depending on whether or not my immune system is activated. If they have never changed size (impossible btw) and you have no other symptoms, chances are you are perfectly normal. Valium can be the culprit behind your weird leg sensation, depending how much you take and how often. You need to see a doctor to make sure you wean off graduually and properly and see if you need therapy for your anxiety issues to help you feel better. Other than that i would not worry about lymphoma or brain tumor. In case of lymphoma you would get other symptoms - get a blood test done to ease your mind if you can push yourself to get it done that is smile As for brain tumor, you would get other symptoms. Hope you feel better soon.
