Could this be leukemia or lymphoma?

Hi. I am a 27 year old female. It all started with some bothersome gastrointestinal problems. Went to my GP and diagnosed me with gastric reflux for which he prescribed antacids. Symptoms of burning seemed to fade, except one: a gnawing chest pain. Since that, all has worsened. I have three swollen cervical lymph nodes, blurry vision, left shoulder pain, a rash that comes and goes and frequent headaches. I've had CBC's done, and bloodwork always seems normal. Went to an ENT which disregarded the lymph nodes as not worrisome. My throat feels swollen all the time. I've been to the hospital in numerous occasions for the chest pains and they always refuse to take a chest x ray, and send me home with painkillers. It is exhausting not being listened to! I am trying my hardest not to pay attention to the symtoms, but they are just too worrisome.

I know unless I don't have some sort of biopsy or more thorough imaging diagnosis I'll never know. But, has anyone had similar symptoms before?

Hi, would you say that the chest pain is in the lungs or in the esophagus?

"It is exhausting not being listened to!"  That's not an uncommon experience for people with immune system problems. Can you post your CBC with ranges? At very least the lymphocytes.

Btw, an ER is not a good place to go for diagnosing mystery problems.
