Question: Hi, For about three years, I’ve laid in my room for about one hour each night with a laptop on my chest. The laptop also gets pretty hot. I’m wondering if the radiation emitted from the computer or the Wi-Fi can cause cancer? I’ve noticed in the past days that I’ve started to have a hard time getting a full deep breath. Is the radiation from the laptop associated with my hard time getting a full breath? And is this an early sign of lung cancer? I am currently 16 years old. And I am in relatively good shape. I have not had any coughs. But I’m just wondering. It

Brief Answer:
This is very unlikely

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for your query.

So far, no association between electromagnetic radiation (from gadgets, wifi, etc) and lung cancer or any other cancer. It should not cause any breathing difficulty either.
I don't think these are symptoms of lung cancer.

Overall, there is nothing to worry.

Regards
