Dear Sir .. I thought I must update you on this development. I met a senior pulmonologist today .. Came back just now. She saw my chest X-rays and said that it's absolutely clear and there is no possibility of any cancer of the lungs. I told her that I am obsessed of late and asked if SCLC is still possible. She ruled that out and said that x-ray will still give signs of that if present and it will come with other symptoms like weight loss, loss of appetite, chronic cough and in that case the SOB and chest tightness will persist which is not in my case. She said that what I am experiencing is purely out of anxiety (as is also clear from your advice Sir :-) ) I am relieved now and am feeling that the SOB is gradually going away. Thanks so much for your advice Sir ..

You need to contact the psychiatrist , please. He will give you something like Tablet Oleanz 2.5 MG at bed time or twice a day for few months or some other medicine he prefers. Treatment MUST be carried out under the supervision of the psychiatrist or the physician with MD in medicine degree. His descision is final. Now do not apply your mind and fallow the advice of the psychiatrist.
