Question: Hi my name is XXXXXXX i was diagnosed with strep throat on 11-15-12, i took penincilin for the infection aling with ibuprofen for pain eventhough i did not feel any pain, just a discomfort swallowing. During the the treatment i was feeling chest pain, upper back pain( aroun lung area) and airware. Today is the 12-16-12, about two weeks ago i was diagnosed with a viral respiratory infection, i have been doing resear h online and i am very concern about it being any kind of cancer. I am currently sitting in the emergency room, because of numbness or stiffness on jaw line, under chin,neck, forehead, and sone soreness on tongue. I am very scared. Please give me some answers?

Basically, if I had a strep throat about a month ago, and that followed by a viral respiratory infection. which was diagnosed at the emergency room. Then I shouldn't worry about a cancer possibility? For these reasons of numbness,and chest pain and upper back pain I had a CT scan of my head, an x-Ray of my chest. This was in the month of november, when I had the strep. during that time I started thinking what if I have throat cancer, I don't smoke, or drink alcohol. maybe occasionally like an event or holiday. I also eat a balanced meal. I also been thinking oral cancer, because of the numbness in jaw line and stiffness in my neck. I also went to the dentist, and had an x-Ray done of my teeth, hopefully I wasn't exposed to so much radiation. since I hardly go to the dentist only every two or three years. the doctor who saw me was a oral surgeon, he looked at my x-Ray an saw no abnormalities. I have an appointment in January to see a general dentist. I think I might be going threw an anxiety attack or panic attack, after I got sick. my doctor whom is
a specialist, does not seem concern that it is a cancer. So she won't refer me to an ENT.. Would it be a bad idea to see one?is a biopsy but me at risk, if I wanted to have one?.. my head is all over the place.. I was also at the E.R yesterday because of the numbness, I had blood test done for electrolyte and a regular blood count, they came back fine. The doctor said, I have a peripheral nervous disorder, is that a disease? and suggested that my doctor refer me to a neurologist? What steps should I take.. Thank you.
