Is it possible that I have lung cancer?

2018-08-21 00:09:13
I have been a smoker for 6 years now. Lately, I have been experiencing shortness of breath after smoking but not at all times. I do not have an excessive coughing problem, but I have a cough on days when I smoke. In the last 2 days I have experienced tingling pain in my hands too which usually goes away within 4-5 minutes of occuring. Couple of times I have felt dizzy right after smoking.
