Lung Cancer Symptoms

Lung Cancer Symptoms? Lung cancer often doesn’t cause symptoms in the early stages. But as it progresses, you may experience some of the following:

• A cough that doesn’t go away or gets worse This is the most common symptom of lung cancer. And it can be a dry cough or a cough that produces mucus (phlegm).
• Chest pain This pain may be sharp or dull, and it may worsen when you take a deep breath, cough, or laugh.
• Shortness of breath This can be mild at first, but it can worsen over time and make it difficult to do even routine activities.
• Coughing up blood Even a small amount of blood in your cough can be a sign of lung cancer.
• Unexplained weight loss This is more common in advanced lung cancer.
• Hoarseness This can be caused by a tumor pressing on your vocal cords.
• Fatigue This is a feeling of extreme tiredness that doesn’t improve with rest.
• Recurrent chest infections If you have repeated chest infections, such as bronchitis or pneumonia, it could be a sign of lung cancer.
