This month has been terrible for me, it all started with a feeling of discomfort in my leg and one of mu testiculars.I googled for it and you know the rest... I was scared to death, had a visit and it was nothing. Doc gave me some ibuprofen and some med to balance hormones.Some days later in a football match i het injured and the pain starts again, told my parents but we already had a xray. Anyway i was still terrified thought i had bone cancer and with injury it spread. Tomorrow waked up feeling dizzy followed by a panic attack and one side of my body went numb. Again checked in google and first thing was stroke. Went to emergency room to meassure blood pressure ( it was a bit higher than normal, but probably from ibubrofens) , made an eco for heart and plenty blood tests and all came clear. Ok i felt a bit calmer and just tried to avoid salt, smoking and alcohol. A week later i had a sore throat and a dry cough.routine repeated, googled for it and suprise suprise... Lung cancer. I convinced myslef i had that, because i was smoker past two years ( light smoker. Had plenty panic attacks but a week later sore throat and dry cough dissapered. Now i have this feeling of pressure that started with my neck and affected one side of the head and one ear. Also i spotted a red mark in my arm. I'm dizzy 24/7, foggy and scared to death about having a brain tumor. I'm 19 years old, in colleague and with active social life. I lift weights as well. This sXXX is destroing me completely. Sorry for mistskes, english is not my native language

    From what you say in your post it would be impossible and inappropriate to try to diagnose your concerns. While you have had concerns about different cancers it is unlikely to be any of them. As a brain tumour sufferer, nothing you have said makes me believe that is likely. Regardless of what it might be, smoking will not help and may give longer-term problems. Meanwhile, continue to seek advice from your physicians to allay your concerns.

    I hope you are well soon

    Regards

    Funny thing about reading up on symptoms of the different conditions, you'll always have some, or at least talk yourself in to it.   Stop googling!
