Default Do i have lung cancer?(Plz help im worried)? - 04-29-2010, 06:44 PM

Im a smoker from last 5 years. Daily I smoke up to 3 cogs(Gudang Garam-Clove Cigarette) a day.
I have symptoms such as
Persistent cough since 2 years
Shortness of breath till 15min after smoking
Higher Heart beats or high blood pressure till 15Min's after smoking.
I dint have any chest pain but there is heartburn and acidity due to clove in the cigarette .
Fever at least once in 3 months.
Hoarseness in my voice(I have to clear my throat to talk)

Is there any way to check whether Im stuck with lung cancer or tests available in India?

My parents dint have a clue about Im a smoker so, I need to know how much it will cost me to check
or conduct lung cancer tests ?

Or does anybody knows that how years it takes for smoker to
develop a lung cancer?

You can always tell when someones a smoker so first of all they probably know, they're just not saying it. secondly you most likely don't have lung cancer yet, but there's a good chance you will if you keep up your habit. SO QUIT. do whatever it takes to quit. ask your parents for help. it's your life and they care about you. they'll help you

The only way you will know for sure is to have a chest Xray By only smoking 3 cigarettes a day you should be able to easily quit.

five years of smoking wont cause cancer , it may some other problem so don't get afraid pals check with your doctor it may be some infection only. if you want make clear blood test can find cancer cell if you got affected or ct scan (i am sure no way getting cancer because of smoking for 5 years might be some other reason)

You don't have lung cancer. This is the result of smoking. Do you know how much crap is in cigarettes. The irritants alone will cause you all the symptoms you describe. My Uncle quit smoking 20 years ago...and he STILL Got Lung Cancer.His only symptom was coughing up blood. You have a long way to go to straighten out. Stop smoking while you have the chance.
