Dear Doctor:
I have had a comprehensive physical during which my blood and urinary tests came back negative for most diseases. However, for the past two years I have been experiencing highly excessive sweating, even when I am cold, in the armpits, groin area, back of my neck, hands and feet. In addition, over the past year I have been feeling a certain tightness that comes and goes in the right side of my lower abdomen. I also have similar tightness in my armpits/breast area. One doctor told me it must be associated with the menstrual cycle and suggested that I take primrose oil. Another doctor told me I had enlarged lymph node on the right side of my lower abdomen (the one on the left side is of a normal size). Please advise what you think the swelling of the lymph nodes might be a symptom of. Moreover, I would appreciate it if you could delve into trying to figure out if the excessive sweating problem is related. If there is no correlation, perhaps you could tell me what this excessive sweating might be a symptom of as well...
Thank you very much for your time and help on this.
