Could I have lung cancer?
I’m a 30 year old female. I’ve vaped for the last 2 years but have never smoked cigarettes.
Yesterday I woke up with excruciating sharp chest pain in the left side. It felt like my heart so I immediately went to the ER. They did a full EKG and blood work, I was also sent for a chest x-ray.
Everything came back completely fine, however now I’m having the sharp pain in both my chest and my left upper back (feels like it’s under my shoulder blade close to my spine).
Movement doesn’t help, pain killers have not helped, and I’ve gone for a massage which did nothing.
The pain starts in the afternoon and gets worse at night and when laying down.
I do also struggle with anxiety and am 6 months post partum. I only hold baby on left side, but again the pain does not seem muscle related as I did not sustain an injury, range of motion doesn’t affect it and painkillers do not help.
I’m now panicking that I have lung cancer because googling says sharp pain in these spots could be cancer. Please help I am so anxious and my doctor will not request any additional tests since I’ve done them all!
