Hi all,

I'm not sure what I'm even asking here, I went to my doctor last week because I was just over the flu and was feeling so run down, tired, dizzy, headaches and my coordination when walking is brutal. My right leg has had a numb sensation for months but this was largely disregarded.

He listened to my chest, I've only a slight cough but he ordered a chest x-ray as my left lung didn't sound right. He rang a day later and told me I've a shadow on my lung and wanted me to go on stronger antibiotics as it could be a possible infection, then x-ray again in two weeks.

I've been on antibiotics a week now and feel no better, I don't have any of the usual chest infection symptoms but I have a constant headache and am as dizzy as before. 

I don't have a huge amount of trust in my doctor and I Am worried that I'm just wasting time, of course I've googled and have self diagnosed myself with lung cancer that has spread to my spine or my brain as my symptoms match exactly. I've an ache in my upper back on the left side too, I didn't notice it was only in the left until last night, I've had it months but put it down to bad posture.

Im 35 and have five young children and am really scared that I'm just wasting my time with them, prancing around on unnecessary antibiotics when I could be preparing for the worst. 

Should I go back tomorrow and ask for tests or wait it out and stop being dramatic?
