Score 5 signs of lung cancer, many people suffer without knowing it

Cough a lot

This sign is similar to the common cold so many patients do not go for screening. In fact, a persistent cough can lead to hoarseness and loss of voice can be caused by pneumonia or a lung infection.

Chest pain

This is the most typical sign of lung cancer. Pain often occurs when the person is active, coughing or laughing.

Wheeze

When the airways become inflamed, you will wheeze or make a sound right after you breathe. The most common causes of wheezing are asthma and allergies.

This is also a sign of lung cancer. If you are wheezing for a long time without having had asthma before, you should see your doctor to find out and find out the cause.

Chest and bone pain

Chest pain often appears after you cough a lot, laugh a lot, take a deep breath. This is also a sign that lung cancer spreads to the lining of the lung.

In advanced stages, the cancer can spread to the bones and you may have back, arm, neck, shoulder or other areas of the body. Painful feelings are worse at night, especially when sleeping.

The duration and severity of pain may vary depending on how far the tumor is spread. If your chest or bone aches for no apparent reason within 4 weeks, you need to see a doctor immediately.

Difficulty swallowing

This is common when you have a sore throat. But if the phenomenon appears for several weeks, regardless of whether you swallow solid or liquid food, this is not just a sign of a common sore throat.

Chances are you have stomach cancer, which is also an early sign of lung cancer.

A study published in 2014 in the Egyptian journal Chest and Tuberculosis found that difficulty swallowing was a very common symptom of lung cancer.

If you have lung cancer, difficulty swallowing is often accompanied by the phenomenon of suffocation, coughing while eating.
