I have been worrying that I have been feeling hot on and off for the past couple of weeks. I have had a blood test which turned out fine and a chest xray also - because I was having chest tightness. I got on the internet (big mistake) and keep working that it's cancer - leukemia etc... even though my blood test came out fine. Has anyone else had this problem? Please Help
Hi
I was just wondering how you relate being hot to having cancer?
I am always hot - I have done posts about it before - I have been like it for years but I certainly don't think it is cancer.
I don't know what causes mine but I just accept that I get hot a lot.

Hi there,
If you have been checked over and had relevant tests, i would truly be re-assured by that! I get very hot/flushed especially when having a panic/stressful time, i always have all the windows open, day or night, much to the distress of my family. As you say please stop checking the internet for symptoms etc..it only adds to our thoughts.take care.
If you've had the blood test and x-ray then don't worry - you're fine. It's probably that you're either prone to hot flushes naturally or you're just noticing them more and thus making yourself more aware of them. They're either something you've always had or something you're exaggerating because you're now aware of it. That kind of thing happens to us anxious types :)
Stay off the internet health sites and stick to places like this instead - a little bit of knowledge is a dangerous thing and all of us can find several conditions for which we have all if not most of the symptoms when we check the health sites.
Forget about it - it's not cancer :)
All the best

Thanks for all the advice everyone - your great!
Keep away from internet searching. You will always find something to scare you.
Doesn't sound like any cancer connections to me.
