Mark, what did the doctor say when you were given the results? I don't know what hypoechoic lymph nodes are but I'm sure your doctor can enlighten you. I think you said that you were seeing someone about your anxiety? That will be very helpful for you. It's sad to see a young person subject to such worry. I was always an anxious person and I can tell you now after all these years that it is not worth it. Have a good talk to your doctor and try to relax. Be vigilant about your health but immerse yourself in other enjoyable things!!!
