@hdanielle62000, you must be very concerned. The symptoms you describe are not listed as typical symptoms for benign carotid body tumors. See this information from Weill Cornell Medicine:
- Symptoms of a Carotid Body Tumor https://weillcornellbrainandspine.org/condition/carotid-body-tumors/symptoms-carotid-body-tumor

You may wish to seek evaluation with a cerebrovascular neurosurgeon.

Might your symptoms be related to a separate issue?

I had a neck biopsy done and the last mri orbit I had done it states NOT cartoid body tumor and recommended a neck biopsy bc suspected lymphoma. Cytology biopsy report shows scant benign lymphoid tissue found in ĺymph node. I've also heard from people in a pheo para group they were told there's was lymphoma to also and came back CBT. Yes I do have carcinoid symptoms and don't match. Also told that lymph nodes can't be fully examined to determine benign or metastatic unless fully removed and tested entire lymph node.
