Lately I've been coughing a lot, and I
mean a lot.
It gets so bad that I throw up,
and I also get sick quit a bit,
not like flu or cold sick, but like,
I have major nausea after eating some times,
I've lost weight,
and I get light headed to.
I smoked a pack a day for almost 3
years, then I quit for like 7 months,
and i just started smoking again about 6
weeks ago,
Non of this was happening till about 2,
maybe 3 weeks ago.
should I be worried? Like i know i
should be because i smoke, but do my
symptoms sound like cancer?
or could it be lack of sleep, stress,
lack of a healthy diet, change in
sleeping shift(Like I now sleep during
the day and work at night), or change in
climate?
could my symptoms be caused by any of
that stuff? and if so could all of them?
IDK, I'm just kinda paranoid.
If I should be worried about this what
should I do? who should I go to? will it
cost money to just be checked? How much
am I looking at if so?

About a year and a half ago my mom was diagnosed with breast cancer. At the same time my friends mom had just finished her treatment and it was encouraging to see her get through it. It gave me hope that my mom would be ok and as well as she was before.
