I have not heard of anxiety causing the swelling, however It is common for people with thyroid and hormonal imbalances which cause lymph node swelling to experience anxiety as a symptom. It would be a good idea to get your thyroid and hormone levels checked.

Anxiety isn't going to swell your lymph nodes. You should have this checked out by your doctor to determine if they are really swollen or just anxiety making you think they are enlarged.
Being anxious makes you over scrutinize your body, so lots of things you think are new problems were really there all along but you didn't have any interest in them before so didn't notice them,
