Brief Answer:
Consultation

Detailed Answer:
Hello, and thanks for your question.

There is no reason to think this is cancer. There are many other things it could be, from simple fatigue, to anxiety, to depression, to vertigo, to worsening hypothyroidism, to a heart condition. I would visit a primary care doctor for a physical exam and basic bloodwork.
