Is Lung Cancer Related With Wheezing And Acid Reflux?

Hi, I've had a cough for about 2 weeks, some days are worse then others, and I'm experienceing some occasional wheezing, with occasional back and chest discomfort. I have gone to the dr. and she believes it has to do with my Acid Reflux. I'm a little paranoid because I've been a light smoker (about 3 per day) on and off since I was 18...I'm 45 now. Of course I'm thinking the worst...Lung cancer! Any help would be appreciated.

Greetings
Wheezing and reflux as you mentioned are most likely due to dyspepsia and gastro esophageal reflux disease. It has nothing to do with lung cancer. But i will still advise you to quit smoking.
