Coincidental? Lymphoma or sarcoidosis at same time as

Five days before my fainting and pm placement the retina specialist noticed a mass in my eye. I have had numerous negative blood tests since and negative brain scan. Getting a Ct scan tomorrow to check for lymphoma or sarcoidosis. Docs are uncertain if there is a connection. Any thoughts out there?  It's been a rough few weeks. So much for a happy new year lol

Hi Guitarski...

Your post was a while ago but thought I'd reply.  Sarcoidosis can cause eye problems as well as heart conduction issues.  I got my PM three years ago for 3d degree heart block. A recent CT scan for another issue showed enlarged mediastinal lymph nodes, which docs think might be lymphoma or sarcoid. All blood tests have been normal, I don't really have much for symptoms other than fatigue and hot flashes (which I thought were hormonal), but the docs want to do an EBUS biopsy of the chest lymph nodes to get some more info. Do you have a conduction issue with your heart?  

Would love to hear how you're doing!  Hope your 2017 has improved!

Cheers!
