[May be too much information for some people]
So for a while I have had a fear of lung cancer and throat cancer which has led me to having panic attacks. For a few months now I have felt like there is something in my throat only when I think about it and this leads me to clearing my throat and causing it to be sore which also caused me to feel like I couldnt swallow properly. Well this has never caused me much panic as I could cause the irritation to go to the other side just by thinking about it. At 1 point I was worried and even put my fingers down my throat to try and feel for any lumps. Tonight I was clearing my throat more than usual and tried to force a cough a few times. At 1 point later in the evening I could taste blood and tried to cough on a tissue to see if there was blood and found 2 dots about half a millimeter then tried get my saliva onto the tissue and this contained a streak of blood. Well this got me feeling worried so I tried to find the source and made myself throw up by accident which had quite a big streak of blood. Should I be worried. I am trying to remain positive and stay calm but after all the reading about lung cancer coughs this has me worried. Please dont judge me just looking for reasons other than the Big C this could have happened. I also had indigestion and acid reflux if that matters. What also has me worried is that the blood in the sickness was a little bit dark and a streak which could indicate stomach cancer which I have also been worried about so this is brilliant. If anyone could help. Im not panicking too much currently but I dont know how long that will last. I can no longer taste the blood.
