Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths worldwide. It is the second most common cancer in the U.S. Let’s see what are the Lung cancer warning signs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most lung cancers do not cause any symptoms until they have spread, but some people with early lung cancer do have symptoms. If you go to your doctor when you first notice symptoms, your cancer might be diagnosed at an earlier stage, when treatment is more likely to be effective<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Warning signs of Lung cancer :<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
  1. Cough :\u00a0<\/strong><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Be alert of new cough specially if you are a smoker. If it is due to common cold or other infection then it will go away within a week or so, but if it is persistent for long time like more than 8 weeks then you should think about the possibility of lung cancer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    2. Sound of coughing :<\/strong>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    If sound of your coughing is deeper or sounds hoarse, or you\u2019re coughing an unusual amount of mucus, then it\u2019s time to visit a doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    3. Coughing up any blood :<\/strong>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Even if it\u2019s just a small amount of blood, coughing up blood or bloody mucus could be an indication of having lung cancer<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \u00a04. Lung tumors :<\/strong>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Lung tumors can block the airway and cause frequent infections such as bronchitis and pneumonia. So, if you have repeated respiratory infection then check it with your doctor. It could be a warning sign of lung cancer<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    5. Wheezing :\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Not all wheezing sounds and shortness of breath during climbing stairs are due to asthma or allergies. Changes in breathing can occur if lung cancer blocks or narrows an airway, or if fluid from a lung tumor builds up in the chest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    When your airways become constricted, blocked, or inflamed, your lungs may produce a wheezing or whistling sound when you breathe. This can have multiple causes, some of which are benign and are easily treatable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    However, wheezing is also a symptom of lung cancer. So always consult your doctor if you find any recent changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
