I have a very enlarged area directly over my left side of my collorbone, it appears to ne a swollen gland, the other side of my neck area is slightly swolllen but the left side is definitly large. It is swollen in the area just above my collor bone and directly under left side of neck. Now it has come and gone for the last several months and each time it gets enlarged it is painless but everyone notices it and I seem to always feel dizzy with general ill feeling, but no other symtons. I went to dr and he said oh thats not a gland, it is an area that may swell when infection in heart or stomach. What? He ordered a chest xray and referred me to a gastroenterologist. When I asked why would he refer me there he siad for some test and lets not worry til you get the tests done.He already tested for thyroid, and it was fine. I do have diabetes and high blood pressure, of which both my sugars and pressure are currently under control with insulin and meds.
My question is what possible illnesses could be related to the reason this neck(gland are) would swell like it has been? Just any possible answers would help. Thanks
