Recently with my fears i have been making myself cough a lot due to my fear to see if I can find anything. I have irritated my throat for a few months now on and off because of clearing it too often because I had a fear of having throat cancer which made me worried. Today i was clearing my throat a lot and made myself cough several times in a row then I was really worried so i put my finger down my throat and right on my finger there was what looked like a coffee bean but very very small then I made myself throw up where I found 1 more and now I am very worried. Yesterday I ate bread with some dark seeds in it but that was yesterday so could it still be in my throat. I also dont usually have a cough so dont usually cough up anything but have a lot of post nasal drip at times. After this I coughed up saliva which was clear and my throw up was clear except for these 2 coffee bean looking very small spots but I am scared as I have read this is a sign of lung cancer which I have been worried about and this has fuelled my fear. Does anyone have any information which could help me PLEASE:weep: I am just such a mess recently and dont know what to do. The left sided back discomfort and this are all I can think about aswell as my breathing 24/7. I am scared my years of second hand smoke could have caused this and am petrified and convinced thats all it could be.What are the chances that a 20 year old, non smoker with no family history of the disease will have this. Please anyone who can reply will be greatly appreciated.

I often also have small bits of blood in my nose similar to this but covered in bogeys (sorry tmi) could this be the cause as it was quite high up in my throat. I think this is caused by picking my nose (I know its disgusting but its a habit i have found hard to shake) and because my nose often gets quite dry.

Also just found a lumb which is quite small in my throat if i follow down my tongue far enough on one side could this be because of me irritating it?
