Hodgkin lymphoma can cause many symptoms:

• Swollen lymph nodes (that do not hurt) in the neck, underarms, or groin
  
  
• Becoming more sensitive to the effects of alcohol or having painful lymph nodes after drinking alcohol
  
  
• Weight loss for no known reason
  
  
• Fever that does not go away
  
  
• Soaking night sweats
  
  
• Itchy skin
  
  
• Coughing, trouble breathing, or chest pain
  
  
• Weakness and tiredness that don't go away

Most often, these symptoms are not due to cancer. Infections or other health problems may also cause these symptoms. Anyone with symptoms that last more than 2 weeks should see a doctor so that problems can be diagnosed and treated.
