Question

My dad has turned really skinny the past few months and has really similar symptoms. He gets anxiety, tired all the time, shortness of breath, barley eats now, dru cough and he barley sleeps and says he has pain in his shoulder. I always tell him to go to the doctor and tell them.. but he says “my doctor doesn’t think I have it. I’m really scared... judging by this symptoms do u think he might have it?

So.....two years ago, you were 49 years old and your father was 48 according to your previous questions. If you (or your father) is or was a smoker, then it's possible that you might have lung cancer or some other kind of cancer (since smoking is a risk factor for other types of cancer as well). The only way to know for sure is to see a DOCTOR. No one here can diagnose you (or him). Losing weight, lack of appetite, fatigue and pain are all concerning signs.

You still really suck at writing fiction moron.  How would anyone here know if he has cancer?   Your lies are really obvious.

People look at this idiot's posting history.

No one makes diagnoses through internet. It is concerning that your dad has been losing lots of weight lately but he does need to see a doctor to get some tests. Nothing can be done until that.

You should call the doctor and ask him if he really made that diagnosis.  He did't, and you should know better than to think he did.  Send dad back to the doctor.  It could be heart problems.

all those could be symptoms of anxiety but i'd be worried  your Dad is still in Denial of the fact that he could have a serious disease. the longer he waits for treatment, the harder it will be. those symptoms could be several things with the Heart of Lungs by the way.
