Too scared!
I am getting scared with each and every new symptom happening with my body. I recently had recurring throat infection and the 2nd time i got chest infection (probably bronchitis as said by pulmonologist. And i have a lingering cough.
I have been asked to do few tests, like xray pft etc.
but I am too scared to do them as i am young right now and think what if i find something scary? Like cancer or TB? My life will be ruined!
I know that early the diagnosis, better the prognosis for any disease. Yet i fear for the worst. Despite suffering with the symptoms.
Please guide me. I want to cry so badly!!
