Had Sinus Infection. Have Gerd Issues And Chest Pain. Feel Fatigue. Chances Of Lung Cancer?

No evidence of lung cancer at present
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for posting the query on XXXXXXX After going through the query, I would like to comment the following:
1. Your cough could be due to any of the following:
a. Due to sinus problem (associated with post nasal drip) - Upper airway cough syndroms (UACS)
b. COPD (Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease- smoking related)
C. GERD related
d. Smoker's cough
2. At present since your chest xray was normal , lung auscultation was also normal and also no metastatic symptoms are present, chances of lung cancer are less but your past history of smoking does place you at a higher risk of lung cancer as compared to the non smokers.
3. You need to visit a pulmonologist and get yourself evaluated in detail to determine the tiology of cough. Investigations that may be required are: sputum examination, pft and/or hrct scan thorax.
I hope I have answered your query. I will be glad to answer follow up queries if any.
Please accept my answer if you have no follow up queries.
