I'm noticing that my lymph nodes are a bit swollen around my neck. I'm just wondering what I should do about it. Should I go see a general physician, or would it be better to consult an ENT specialist?

I've been having this muscle pain around my chest for a while now. I think it might be a muscle tear from sleeping in a bad position. There's no breathlessness, just pain. Do you think it's anything serious?

It sounds like you may be experiencing muscle pain in your chest, possibly due to a muscle tear from sleeping in the wrong posture. Since you are not experiencing breathlessness, it is less likely to be related to any serious cardiac issues. You can try taking over-the-counter pain relievers such as ibuprofen (Advil) or acetaminophen (Tylenol) to help with the pain and inflammation. Make sure to get plenty of rest and avoid activities that worsen the pain. If the pain persists or worsens, it would be best to consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.
