Hi I'm new to this site and from New Zealand , I have been really struggling with the idea I have lung cancer and this has been going on for some time , I'm 41 and have bouts of this fear on and off quite often , yes I'm a smoker !! Which I hate but the more anxious I get the more I look to smokes then the more I cough and the more I freak out I'm dying , 5 months ago I was so convinced I had all the signs I made my doctor give me a X-ray which came back clear , but then I think we'll maybe they missed something !! So I came right but about a week or 2 ago started feeling congested and coughing , I'm a tattooist and one of my clients a week or so ago told me our their mum died of lung cancer and how it started with a cough etc , since then my cough has got worse and I'm freaking out so much it's ruining my life , so much so that my wife and I just had a much needed 5 day break from our kids which was ruined by me obsessing about my breathing and cough !!! So on our way home we went to the doctors yet again , he listened to my lungs and seemed to think they are clear ( bizarre because I cough up mucus and wheez often , my throat is also raw and my lungs feel raw , The doc thinks I'm fine but you no how it works I'm sure he's missed something , I'm so sad this is overtaking my life again I just want to cry and cry , no one understands the fact I actully believe I'm Unwell !! My symptoms are mucus type cough , sore throat and lungs , I'm not out of breath and had a X-ray 5 months ago , I'm scared it's not going to go away and just become worse until someone realised they missed something and I have throat or lung cancer !! Please help me I can't take being trapped in this anymore
