Hi,
I am 47 and 2 weeks ago my fingers of my right hand started to hurt. A strange pain.
Then I was a bit breathless.
Went to a lung specialist doc and he checked me, made lungenfunktion test and x-ray.
Everything was fine.
Now I still have this finger pains and slightly breathless (which I have only in the morning and no idea if it is psychological)
Do you think I still need a CT? (I am allergic again the contrast)
I am worried that the xray did miss something and I have lung cancer.
Thx for answers!

Hi, a short update.
I had a thorax CT (without contrast because I am allergic to it) and lung doctor and the radiologist told me my CT looked fine.
But I still have right chest pain and a bit of breathing problems.
Do you think this could be caused by something else since my CT was fine?

Big problem it is very hard to get appointments by other pulmonologists in next 2-3 months.
I already had to pay this one by myself to get a faster appointment.
I mean he looked the CT scan together with the radiologist specialist. So I hope both will not have missed anything important.
I will also get the written results from the radiologist.

Should I get a lung biopsy?
Since it is Christmas most docs are on holidays.
I always thought when CT is fine then there is nothing to worry about.
Can a very small sclc do such vast symptoms without being visible on the thorax CT?
