Worried / Anxiety

Hello all,

looking for best advice.

over the last 12 months i have seemed to feel not my self and and worried about my health more than i usually do. 
 

ive had chest pains, shooting pains along with back ache and shoulder ache and also aches in my hands and arms. Sometimes it's just a dull ache that sits around for a while.

 

over the last month since the new year i have had a cough for 4weeks along with always trying to clear my throat. I went to the doctors and was giving antibiotics. My cough is still here along with these dull pains. 
 

my left side of chest was usually the one hurting and i thought it was my heart or stress. Both sides of my chest have pains these days and im still getting the aches around the body and arms. 
 

it doesnt help i worry about anything medical but i am guilty of typing symptoms in google and believing what i see. 
 

everything I read says it's lung cancer.

im worried and just need some friendly advice and a space to talk. 
 

I have never been a smoker but i was around it when i was young as my parents smoked at the time.

i have coughed up phlem but nothing discoloured or blood.

Thank you for reading.

    Hi Jwalton,

    Welcome to our forum,

    I am sorry to hear about your symptoms. First and foremost, don't believe everything tyhat Dr Google tells you. Try to steer clear of him, as he would have you in a wooden box and six eet under wioth a pain in your pinkie. If your antibiotics haven't worked, go back and see your GP again. Tell him/her how you feel and, what you suspect. He might agree to refer you for a chest x-ray to rule out cancer.

    I am afraid tyhat I cannot give you any other advice as I am just another cancer patient, with no medical knowledge, but I sincerely hope that your GP can put your mind to rest and, that no cancer is detected.

    Do please let us know how you get on.

    Kind regards,

    Jolamine
