It’s unlikely that anyone with non-Hodgkin lymphoma will have all the symptoms listed here. Most people with these symptoms won’t have non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

Other symptoms

A specific type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma called Waldenström macroglobulinaemia causes changes in your blood which can lead to: headaches and dizziness

confusion

nose bleeds

blurred vision

kidney problems

numbness in the legs and feet.

When should I go to the doctor? If you have only one symptom that you can’t explain, that goes on for a long time, or that’s unusual for you, book an appointment with your GP. If your GP suspects lymphoma, they will order tests, probably starting with a simple blood test. If you suddenly feel very unwell at any time, get medical help straight away by calling 999 or going to A&E.
