Hi, I'm Hillary. I'm only 16. I've been having very very dull chest pains in my left rib cage. I thought it might be my heart but then I got sick after spending a week in NYC. I went to the doctor with very sore throat, fever (only for one day), and slight cough. He said it was my allergies and told me to take ibuprofen and vitamin c with lots of water. But I did just that and nothing helped. I went back to the docter two days later (today) with a worse cough and a slightly better sore throat and gave me amoxicyllin medicine even though I don't have bronchitis. But I am still scared about having lung cancer. I only had sputum in my mucus once but I think it may have come from my nose, not my lungs (I don't remember if I coughed or what). I used to have horrible bloody nose until I got my nose cotterized (spelling?) so that may be a factor. I have never EVER smoked, no history of lung cancer in my family. Only one relative has ever had cancer (Great aunt) I can't tell where the pain is coming from but it's basically only there when I focus on it. If I am doing something productive it basically doesn't even exist. I am thinking all of this is mental (the pain) in my mind but I'm not sure. I randomly got pains like this during the school year but I never worried about it. I am so frightened of having lung cancer but I have no idea how I could. Unless my house has a lot of radon in it? But I rarely am around second hand smoke and I never plan on smoking. help! I am really scared. My left arm kind of feels weak but very very faintly and I think I could have a pulled muscle or something out of place in my back? Idk. help asap!!!!!!!!! I"M SCARED!
