22 female - night sweats!

Hello,

I have been getting night sweats around 5 nights a week for the last 2 months and i just wondered if anyone had experienced the same? I have a slightly swollen lymphnode under my chin but my GP said this was nothing to worry about. I have had my bloods done which came back fine except for slightly high lymphocytes which my doctor said was nothing to worry about also. He said the night sweats could just be one of those unexplained things. Should i go for a second opinion?

I am a 22 year old female.

Any help would be amazing! Thanks!

    Hello BVC01, 

    Thank you for posting.  I can appreciate that it must be worrying for you if you don’t feel that your problems are being diagnosed properly.  Unfortunately, we cannot help you get a diagnosis.  Only a doctor can diagnose you.  It is definitely a good idea if you are still worried or if you are unhappy with the way you are being looked after by your current doctor  to consider getting a second opinion.

    You can find out more about this here.  I hope you find the reassurance you need soon. 

    Best wishes,
