Whats the chance of a 28 yr old having a life threatening illness? quit smoking 3 days ago but have been sick for yrs can't get an answer!

Small but possible: Congratulations on quitting smoking! that's a huge step to getting better. It's possible to have a life-threatening illness at 28, but it's uncommon ; if you had one your docs would have probably found it. But there are many causes of feeling sick for years that many docs may miss, such as chronic lyme with co-infections, heavy metal toxicity etc. See a holistic md or nd who thinks outside the box.
