Help me

I am 17 years old and for the last two years I have slowly felt my right nostril get more and more blocked every day, recently in the last 3 months I have noticed it become a lot more worse and a constant pressure is now built up in my ear, this blockage will randomly go away for around 20 minutes then come straight back to my right nostril, I have also lost a lot of weight since December that is unexplained however I do a lot of exercise such as walking an average of 11,000-15,000 a day and doing around 60 push-ups a day or two days so I guess that could be to blame. I do tend to over think things like this but I have googled my symptoms and have realsied I have 70% of symptoms realised to nasal cancer.  If I am being completely honest I have convinced my self before that I have had other types of cancer so this could be just me over thinking as I struggle with anxiety.  However I am too scared to tell my parents or go to the doctors about it incase I am dying, can someone please help me reassure my self that I am fine or atleast try help me get the convindnce to tell someone about my problem.

  • Hi there ...

    There is no one here who can diagnose your symptoms ... only your Dr can do that ... you say you've had thoughts of different cancers which sounds like you have health anxiety....

    You really need to ask your Dr about help you can get for that ... it can ruin your life so get that help now .. and your g p can also look about your blocked nostril.... it could be lots of things and could be fixed if you see him ..

    This is a place for those with cancer and those caring for them... or being tested ... so it can not help your anxiety... so please get some help .. you could look up on a search engine for help with health anxiety..I know how debilitating it can feel ..... your only young so look for that help now ...
