7 Signs and Symptoms of Lung Cancer That You Should Never Ignore (Video)

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


 

by N.Morgan

Around 25% of people who have lung cancer will show no symptoms of this dreaded disease before they’re diagnosed. Their cancer often is diagnosed from a routine chest X-ray or from a CT scan done for other reasons.

But most who are diagnosed with lung cancer do have signs and symptoms of the disease. Here are the more common ones.

Wheezing

Wheezing — a whistling sound made when someone with a constricted airway exhales — is a symptom of many lung conditions, including lung cancer. In cancer patients, wheezing can be caused by a tumor pressing on an airway. 

Difficulty swallowing

If lung cancer has invaded a patient’s esophagus, he or she may experience pain or difficulty while swallowing. 

This symptom, called dysphagia, can seriously affect the quality of life. One study of 391 people with lung cancer found that those who reported the most pain with swallowing had a greater chance of dying from the disease.

Pain in the shoulder and outside of the arm

Lung cancer that has invaded nerve cells can cause a condition known as Pancoast’s Syndrome. It’s a type of shoulder pain that radiates down the outside of a patient’s arm.

Hoarseness

As with Pancoast’s Syndrome, lung cancer that has affected the nerves can interfere with or even paralyze the vocal cords. This can cause patients to experience hoarseness when they speak.

Chest pain

About 25% of people who have lung cancer will experience chest pain. Lung cancer patients who have chest pain often describe it as a dull, persistent ache. It may also involve other areas around the lungs.

Coughing

If you’re a smoker who is suddenly experiencing a cough, or if you’re a former smoker who suddenly develops a cough not related to a cold or other respiratory infection, you should see your physician. It could be a sign of lung cancer. Also, coughs that don’t go away or that worsen over time can also be a sign of the disease.

Hemoptysis

Hemoptysis is the coughing up of blood. It is one of the most common symptoms of lung cancer. Experts say that if you cough up any amount of blood, you should see a doctor as soon as possible.

      Hello Angle#3,

      Charlie here. My you are a health nut. I’m a dough nut. :lol: :lol:

      I thought I had lung cancer once. Went to see a doctor and he examined me and said, are you a Master-Baker? I said yes I….. (he cut me off right there) and told me to see a sick therapist.

      I don’t know what breathing in flour is that I have to see a sick therapist. :neutral: :neutral:

      Signed,

      Charlie (imagine that? I have to see Sick – the rapist) :roll: :roll:
