Some Symptoms - Cancer: Lung Message Board

Hello. I'm a 23 year old male. Non-smoker, healthy except I suffer from allergies(dust, pollen, cats etc.)
Lately, I been experiencing some sharp/cramping-like pains between my armpit and the start of my chest(the left side). They come and go. It's not heartburn, this happens when I dont eat. It's right on the side of my chest and at the end of my armpit, where the muscle is(hard to explain). I do NOT have ashtma. I did get a bee sting couple years ago at that same spot. Aswell, when you move your shoulder/arm, there's a muscle in the back that moves/clenches, right where the shoulder is, well, there's pain there. I have a dry cough, could be due to allergies. No fever, no cold, no blood anywhere. Could this be signs of lung Cancer? I will be gettin' a doctor's opinion soon but just felt like gettin' this off my chest. Any guidance?

MoneyMoney- Your symptoms do not sound like lung cancer. Have you seen your doctor? Could be many other things.

^Yeah, my appointment is in a couple weeks though. I'm starting to think it's side effects to my dust allergies. What else could it be many thanks for the feedback Renee.

Just a guess here, but if you say that this pain could NOT be heartburn because it only happens when you have NOT eaten...then it could be gas. I know it sounds strange, but even up that high in your chest, it could be a gas pain. Good luck.

Did you ever find out what it is? I am going to my DR next week for the same issues that you are having.
