What Are the Symptoms of Lung Cancer


By Randolph Meresmaa

It is very hard to detect the symptoms of lung cancer because you may have symptoms like shortness of breath, cough that you that are related to respiratory problems. Knowing exactly what are the symptoms of lung cancer is also important because the earlier it is detected the better your chances are of recovery. The more people are aware of the possible symptoms the easier the treatment will be.

Symptoms of lung cancer can be:

• Coughing that does not go away or is different then before. Smokers who have chronic coughing have a change in how much they cough and how severe the coughing is. • Shortness of breath. It is a common symptom of many medical disorders. • Back, chest or shoulder pain that often gets worse with deep breathing and does not go away. • Coughing up bloody mucus or blood • Wheezing. Wheezing is commonly experienced by persons with a lung disease; the most common cause of recurrent wheezing is asthma, a form of reactive airway disease. • Swelling in the neck and face • Loss of appetite and/or weight loss (Cachexia). It can be a sign of various underlying disorders; when a patient presents with cachexia, a doctor will generally consider the possibility of cancer, metabolic acidosis. • Recurring respiratory infections • Difficulty in swallowing (Dysphagia.) • Numbness and weakness of the legs and arms • Bone pain • Vormiting and nausea • Headaches • Seizures
