Hey everybody
I am new to this site and I must say, after reading some of the threads here my nerves has been calmed a lot and my symptoms weakened :)
My major concern is my chest. For the last year I have had a heavy feeling in the right side of my chest with occasional pain when touching it. I have been worrying a lot and have had several meetings with dr. Google (bad idea)
At first I thought I had lung cancer which I still do a bit. However, I do not cough a lot and never coughed up blood. I normally cough a bit every morning but it goes away in an hour or two and it is more a clearing of throat than a real cough. I am 23 years old and have never been a steady smoker, however, I did smoke at parties and festivals but now I have quit for good.
Over the cause of time I have been worrying about breast cancer, due to the fact that my chest area will sometimes blush red. Throat cancer because my neck was hard and I had difficulties swallowing and now bone cancer.
I am really worried that I have bone cancer and has been at 4 different doctors. The feelings I had/have is heaviness in chest, pain in my sternum and clavicle when pressing on it and a sharp pain in my chest/sternum when I get up in the mornings. The doctors listened to my chest and said my lungs are clean and that my chest/sternum issue was/is muscular. I really want to believe the doctors and parts of me do, however, I have felt very depressed and lonely because I did not get any proper tests to give me peace at mind.
Today I called my doctor for the third time in 3 weeks to get an x-ray which I will have tomorrow. However, I am rather nervous about having the x-ray and the results, it feels like judgement day or something.
Anyway, I just really felt the need to share this with you
I am so glad that this forum exist and we can share our worries
Hugs to all of you
