do you smoke if you dont dont worry about it

Highly highly unlikely, unless you were a very heavy smoker. You should go to your doctor it could just be a chest infection or asthma

A 15 year old would NOT get lung cancer. I mean im sure in the history of the world there have been a few freak cases of it, but basically it is unheard of at that age. Perhaps if you were like that fat little baby from samoa or whereever that smokes..lol. There are types of lymphoma that can effect the lung regions of younger people, but that does not fit the symptoms.

I sincerely doubt it's cancer, especially lung cancer. You probably have allergies or a summer cold in your chest area. I sometimes lose weight in the summer because it's so hot that I lose my appetite. Drink a lot of plain water, and avoid fruit juice, soda pop, chocolate, sweets, and dairy products, especially ice cream and milk. Take some Vitamin C supplements and make sure you eat a healthy diet. You'll probably be fine, but if the breathing problems continue, see a doctor for treatment. You may need antibiotics or an inhaler.
