What Does Loss Of Appetite With Cough & Breathing Issues Suggest?

Hello
I'm a smoker, 20, female.
The past while I have had severe appetite loss where all food grosses me out. I have little energy and motivation. I frequently wake up at night with hacking coughs and difficulty in breathing (it feels as though there are holes in my lungs).
I'm scared I might have cancer. Please advice me as to what other illnesses/etc that have the above as symptoms.

although your age is the common age for lung cancer, smoking is BAD. your symptoms need pulmunology evaluation. you might be having smokers cough only but meet pulmunologist to rule out other conditions
