PREFACE: I am in my 30s and have smoked more than 17 years at more
than 1 1/2 packs per day.
BUT Please read all I have to say about my symptoms. I obviously need
to stop smoking but please read on.

I have gone to the ER once because of severe left-sided chest pain and
the doctor said it was "pleurisy" and I received a breathing treatment
and was given an inhaler which lasted about 2 weeks.
I have also, in the last 10 years, received about 20 x=rays from my
primary doctor and each time he says there is nothing showing any
signs of lung cancer [last x-ray was about 1 1/2 years ago]. My doctor
has, because of weezing, given me inhaler of all kinds over the years.
He always comments on how excessive the weezing is in me.
I have , since my teens, had about 8 cases of Bronchitis, and each
time it is worse than the previous case.

Symptoms Now:
1. Weezing - it is very bad, I can be talking and it sounds like a
whistle is in my throat. Coughing really hard does not make it much
better.
2. Extreme pain between shoulder blades - much more common when waking
up and the pain only goes away after about 4 or 5 hours. Narcotic's
help but not much.
3. VERY excessive amount of coughing [90% priductive/10% unproductive]
usually is really bad the 2 or 3 hours before I wake up. I probably
cough more than 100 times a day now.
4. UNABLE to finish a long sentence. When saying a sentence I
frequently am unable to finish without pausing to get another breath
to finish the sentence. The sentence at the end is usually like I end
it in a whisper and then need a break to finish the sentence.
5. Out of breath - I can do something as simple as get up from a chair
and walk 20 feet and be out of breath to a degree.
6. Sudden violent inhalation of Air - 5 or more times a day I will
suddenly inhale really deep. It is almost like some kind of muscular
contraction in my lungs. I can be doing anything and this will happen
to me. When I do this, people who witness it say it is similar to what
a person does right after holding their breath or coming out from
under water for a period of time.
7. Jaw and Neck pain - I have about 3 days a week of very severe pain
in the left side of my head. Mostly the ear and jaw area extending
down to my left side of my neck. This is very painful and only a
narcotic or heat to the area makes it go away.
8. Seeing stars - I can literally look/stare across a room and see
tiny swimming stars that look like pieces of rice in a petree dish. I
do not have any ocular disorders.
9. Weight gain - In less than Year I have gained 90 pounds.
10. Heart palpitations - this has gotten worse nearly every month.
Even lying down makes it worse. It is as though my heart is beating
200 beats per minute. It is very frightening and most times I have to
get back up and then try later to return to bed.
11. Dizziness - I get very dizzy when standing up/standing or walking
for more than 20 minutes. Although my head will be still it appears
that I am turning my head left to right in a fast motion. Doesn't go
away unless I sit/lay down.

So, in anyone's opinion does it seem I have lung cancer or any other
disorder?

If you do think I do then can you give me an idea of how to explain
all this to my doctor so that he orders the right tests?
He had only done x-rays and I have read where that test can sometimes
only detect stage 4.

Thanks for your input.
