Hi there 6 months ago i was on here for the fear of lung cancer and had at the time a X-ray plus copd test as was having breathing issues and all the doctors where saying anxiety related , 6 months has passed and I've had the odd good moment but always obsessing about my lungs and breathing , yes i smoke and the more anxious i get the more i smoke !!!
Anyway 4 to 5 weeks ago i was walking up my drive and observed the fact i felt quite healthy with my breathing and maybe my anxiety if thats what it had been was leaving finally But that very afternoon a new cough started with rattling in my chest the doctor doesn't seem concerned and had a full blood test done to reassure me but i am freaking myself out to the point i can't stop crying , how do i know whats real or whats not my symptoms say to be worried , i know smoking makes this worse and need to quit but my anxiety is so bad that would put even more stress on a already stressed mind , can anyone help or relate to this I'm terrified I've got only months to live , feeling tight in chest and after 4 doctor visits and 4 big courses of antibiotics has not gone , the doctor doesn't seem concerned i feel like the little boy who cried wolf and one day no one will believe me , but i am freaking myself out to the point i can't stop crying , I'm 42 too young to die and feel no one takes me seriously when i say i can't breathe , the doctors and family say its all anxiety but how can anxiety cause phlegm in my chest and cause me to be wheezing , can anyone help or relate to this I'm terrified I've got only months to live
