I’ve had a terrible couple of years. Mum died very suddenly of cancer. The pandemic. My dad diagnosed with Copd. I knew it was only a matter of time before I would hit rock bottom and I knew HA would rear it’s ugly head. It’s been years since I had a proper episode. I was a bit anxious after mum died and had a few HA moments. But that went quite quickly. But Watching my mum die was traumatic. And it was due to a mis diagnosis of cancer. I won’t go into detsils as I don’t want to trigger anyone.
Anyway. Over a year ago I started with a cough. And chest tightness. In the last few months it got worse. I went to the dr. Had xrays. Dr listened to my chest. I then was diagnosed as Asthmatic and put on an asthma plan. I wasn’t anxious at al. But the inhalers are not working very well which is now making me doubt the diagnosis. The nurse says my trigger is my dog. It turns out I’m allergic to dogs. I also have acid reflux. And due to my allergy my sinus are chronically inflamed. I do have sinuses headaches every day. But I am now sick with worry that they have missed something as the inhalers are not helping very much. They do help a bit. Some days I feel clear and no coughing. Other days I cough all day.
I’m on omeprazole. Have been for 14 years. But I put on a lot of weight during the pandemic so I don’t think this has helped my acid reflux. Which I know can irritate asthma. I also have earaches.
Would an X-ray show lung cancer. How accurate are they. My X-ray was clear and normal
