Are panic attacks and irregular heartbeats serious?

Hi doctor,

I feel as if I am getting irregular heartbeats. I had suffered from panic attacks quite a few times in the last six months. Since then, I have been having these irregular heartbeats. Although, I have not had a panic attack now, the heart still beats irregularly and it occurs throughout the day. Do I need to worry?

What causes a swollen lymph node behind the ear?

Hello doctor,

I have had this swollen lymph node behind my ear for about three months now. What could the reason be? There is no pain. I can move it. I do not have any other symptoms, such as fever, weight loss, or fatigue. I have been coughing up mucus for a few years now. Could this be the reason, and is there any infection suspected? About two weeks ago, I noticed a smaller lymph node appear right under my ear lobe (the top of my neck). What could be the reason for this? I also realized the skin where my lymph node is red and warm. Is it cancer? Please help. I have pictures attached with the lymph node behind my ear.

Kindly help.
