What is wrong with me?

---

I have been coughing for atleast two months now. My chest always seems full.. Im still loosing my voice. Is this still from the flu? What else can it be? Latley.. I just kinda stop breathing and i go WTF? and i make myself breath. Whats wrong with me? It couldn't be lung cancer could it? ( only reason i think about it case my aunt has it ) .. I also was dianosed with a MILD case of ashma when i was little.. but never needed an inhaler. Thank You

Sounds serious. It's in your best interest to see a doctor bud.Just a hint but the filling feeling of your chest and such describe fluid being in your lungs which can be caused by flu. But like I said before, it's in your best interest to see a doctor.

Yeah.. I think i am.. I was looking up lung cancer ( cause aunt has it ) .. and i looked at the symtoms.. My back has been hurting on and off for a few months.. coughing alot... like said before.. kinda stop breathing.. What are the chances i have lung cancer? I didn't have all symptons but.. it said i could also be missing them because im not in advanced stage.. I dont know if i want to see a doctor.. I might find out im phucked!

I also noticed i do sometimes have a shortness in breath. Not like hardcore.. but a little bit

This is BS!!! I go in there tell my mom i need to see a doctor.. cause i have a few signs of lung cancer.. and i dont think its the flu anymore.. She is like its still just the flu. Take some Viatem C and you will be fine. I told her .. I go no.. Your going to get me into a doctor.. She goes dotn talk to me like that.. I go im serious.. and i walked away.. that fucking bitch.. I could be dieing cause her and my dad want to smoke... and she tells me to take vieatems.. FUCK THAT.. I will probably find out its serious in a few months when i pass out in class or something.. and its so late in its stages that im gonna die.. Thats what will probably happen.. cause if her carelessness.. She seems more and more worthless everyday.. This isnt helping my recent spell of depression...

Lung cancer is very rare at your age. It could be asthma.

THANK YOU AMANDA!! I was waiting for your post.. lol.. I already feel better.. I was kinda sittign here thinking .. What if? and i started to see you were posting on other topics... I still need to get my mom to take me to the doctor.. What if i dont? What will happen ?

Just keep pressuring her about it, but in a nice way. I know you're upset about it, but keep calm and cool. I don't think you're dying. Maybe talk to your aunt or another relative and see if they can talk to your mom. You could tell your mom you just coughed up blood, I'm sure she'll take you then You could even try a local health clinic. It would be free there. Another idea would be to call up your doctor's office and talk to a nurse about your problem.

I agree with Amanda. It's very unlikely to be lung cancer at your age, but it does need a doctor - it's been hanging on too long.

What the F*** is wrong with your mother??? I'm sorry to dis your mother, but is she an idiot or what? I'm sorry I'm just pissed off. I remember when you were complaining about being sick for the longest time. How in the world can she let you go on this far? I'll bet anything that you had pneumonia. My kids would have been to the doctors after 1-2 weeks if there was no improvement. Tell her to get off her ass and take you to the doctors.

thats what i was thinking i think ur right to have a go at her cause she should be listenning to you hun.

how much you been smoking??

I talked to my mom tonight.. I basicly let her know.. That i was 100% serious. So she said she will set it up ( has to deal with the Union Insurance ) .. How much have i been smoking.. Havn't smoked weed since last week.. That was like 4 or 5 times..( on 3 which i got high ) .. and I had like two cigerates.. Nothing this week ...

you better hope they don't do blood work or you're busted

GREAT! More to worry about.. how long does cannabis stay in my system? To where they can trace it?

i aint sure i thought it was quite a long time thought

Something like a month. But I've heard of people being able to flush it out of their system. Not too sure about that though.

I thinking it is up to a month. My friend's boyfriend recently got busted on the job for it.

Dont let Amanda scare you. They won't check for anything if youre getting a check-up. Its against the law!
