What Causes Pain In Right Shoulder,light Headedness,dizziness,pale Hands,fatigue,sleeplessness And Night Sweats?
I am 38 years old, male have had no heath issues untill now. I quit smoking but today is only my 5th day, quit any type of soda for about 2 months now. Eating better and exercising have lost about 32 lbs. Feeling bad for 3 weeks now but this week the worst, i am convinced I have lung cancer. I have pain in right shoulder, light headed dizzy spells, hand look pale and get tingly as do my feet, fatiguied, cant sleep and wake up with bad night sweats, i am scared to death. I have an appointment at 10;30 today but really nervous and scared.

hello
i can understand your concern. But directly thinking about lung cancer at this age should not be your attitude, despite the history of smoking. And its always better to rule out the causes rather than thinking on it. please do a chest x ray, an EKG, fasting and post prandial blood sugars, BP, complete blood count. this would give you a fair idea. further course can be decided after the reports. stay positive, eat healthy, avoid smoking. rule out diabetes also.
wishing you good health
