Swollen lymph nodes after a stressful day and night of drinking.

I had a horrible, and stressful Wednesday last week.  So much stress.  My wife betrayed me, she didn't cheat, just betrayed me.  Was unexpected.

Anyway, I drank the pain away with Whiskey.  Yum.  The next day, besides the hangover, I noticed a large bump behind my ear.  It hurt to rub or touch.  Not noticeable if left alone.

Being who I am I search the web and only found HODGESKIN LYMPHOMA!  I'm a 30 year old male, who never drinks.  Maybe once a year.  

Am making a doctor's appointment now.  But could all this be stressed related?

It turned out to be just a cyst.  Popped.  Stunk.  And done.

Gotcha! Back in my younger days, I would be partying and the next morning trying to figure out what had happened.

Not to try and make lite of your situation, you may have done something to it last night.
