Hodgkin’s lymphoma may present with a variety of symptoms, including swollen lymph nodes, fever and night sweats, fatigue, chest pain or pressure, shortness of breath, and a persistent cough. Unexplained weight loss, itching, and an increased tendency to bruise or bleed are also possible warning signs. Additionally, some patients may experience a feeling of fullness in the neck or abdomen due to an enlarged spleen or liver, and in rare cases, Hodgkin’s lymphoma may cause a rash or a lump under the skin. It is important to note that some of these symptoms can be caused by other conditions, but if you experience any of these for a prolonged period, it is advisable to consult with a doctor.
