I am a 42 year old female. I don't smoke but have been exposed to second hand smoke all my life. Sometimes especially a lot lately I wheeze when I breath and have shallow breathing. There is no lung cancer in the family but there are other types of cancer in my family.

You can go to WebMd.com and type in lung cancer and read up on this disease. You could just have a case of bronchitis - you can type that term in also and read up on how to care for this. You could just have a cold. You have low risk factors for cancer. This is probably a temporary illness.

Wheezing is not a symptom of cancer but it is a symptom of asthma. If you do have asthma, its important to get medications to stop it in the event that you have a severe bout that interferes with breathing. It would be a good idea to see a doc to talk about your breathing problems and lung cancer concerns. The doc could order a chest x-ray or other type of image to look for signs of lung cancer.
