I have health anxiety, had therapy numerous times.
a few weeks ago I started getting a tight chest feeling and shortness of breath, I had blood tests which shown anemia and b12 deficiency.
started on supplements
I now have a cough, productive and tickly and im worried sick I actually have some sort of lung cancer.
i had a chest X-ray in January for something unrelated. It was clear
I am really, really worrying.
im 31 and i vape too much, scared myself silly

Im sure anything bad would have shown on your scan in January. I have a cough too atm, it’s going around. Weather change and all that.

Honestly, I think the problem here is your health anxiety. I know there’s nothing I can say because I suffer with it too. I think it’s worth seeing your GP about your anxiety. It really helped me when I was spiraling. I can wholeheartedly say after regular medication and therapy for the past year I’ve not have another episode.

Good luck OP
