See doctor: There is no single test for lung cancer. It is unlikely that you have lung cancer. See a doctor for evaluation of your symptoms and correct investigation. Wish you good health.

SOB, migraines: Doubt cancer. May be reflux which can cause SOB, and migraines as the acid can reflux all the way to the lungs and sinuses.Could try ranitidine twice a day and prilosec clicking in throat can be from reflux as one of the causes of globus pharyngis is reflux ( other causes include cricophyaryngeal spasm -elongated styloid - thyrodi). Would check thyroid as well f/u /w /doc
