Top 10 Early Warning Signs of Lung Cancer to Look For ⚠️

What are the top early warning signs to look for with lung cancer? Watch this video to find out! 💥Lung Cancer Warning Signs [Full Guide] ➜ ➜ ➜ ➡️ Persistent Cough Now, of course, there are many different causes of coughing. However, if you have a cough that persists and just won’t go away, it could be cause for concern. ➡️ Coughing up Blood Hemoptysis may occur in some cases of lung cancer, which is a term used to describe coughing up blood. This generally happens when there is bleeding in the lungs or airways. For example, if there’s a tumor in your lungs that continues to expand, it may eventually rupture a blood vessel, leading to bleeding. ➡️ Night Sweats Do you often wake up drenched in sweat in the middle of the night? If so, it could be a sign of lung cancer, as this symptom is often associated with multiple types of cancer. Night sweats generally are defined as several hot flashes that occur during sleep. When your body tries to fight cancer, significant changes in hormone levels can trigger excessive sweating. ➡️ Chest Pain Chest pain is another one of the more common warning signs of lung cancer. This symptom is especially worrisome if accompanied by dyspnea and shortness of breath. Studies have shown that approximately 40% of patients with lung cancer have chest pain at the time of diagnosis. However, not all types of lung cancer are associated with chest pain. ➡️ Hoarseness If you’ve noticed that your voice has become hoarse or raspy, it could be an early warning sign of lung cancer. Studies have shown that patients with small cell lung cancer often present with hoarseness. In general, hoarseness develops when the vocal cords do not vibrate as they should, creating an unusually breathy sound. ➡️ Loss of Appetite Cancer cells can release substances that alter how your body processes food, leading to a loss of appetite. This explains why weight loss is a common symptom of lung cancer. A study found that approximately two-thirds of patients with lung cancer eventually develop this symptom. ➡️ Unexplained Weight Loss If patients with lung cancer have a loss of appetite, it only makes sense that they may start to lose weight as well. Unintentional weight loss is a hallmark sign of multiple types of cancer, including lung cancer. It has been estimated that patients with advanced lung cancer may suffer severe weight loss in as many as 70% of cases. ➡️ Shortness of Breath As previously mentioned, dyspnea and shortness of breath are two of the most common symptoms of lung cancer. Studies found that more than 70% of patients with lung cancer eventually develop breathing difficulties. This can occur when a tumor grows and causes an obstruction in the airways of the lungs. It can always result in inflammation, leading to increased feelings of breathlessness. ➡️ Chronic Fatigue Chronic fatigue is another hallmark sign of multiple types of cancer, including lung cancer. In fact, researchers found that fatigue is the most frequently reported symptom in individuals diagnosed with this disease. That is because people with lung cancer may experience dyspnea and hypoxemia. 💥Lung Cancer Warning Signs [Full Guide] ➜ ➜ ➜ ————— 📗 BEST STUDY GUIDES FOR YOU ▪ TMC Test Bank 👉 ▪ Hacking the TMC Exam 👉 ▪ TMC Exam Bundle (Save $) 👉 ▪ Daily TMC Practice Questions 👉 💙MORE FROM RTZ ▪ Free TMC Practice Exam 👉 ▪ Free RRT Cheat Sheet 👉 ▪ Resources for RT’s 👉 ▪ Testimonials 👉 🌐FOLLOW US ▪ Instagram 👉 ▪ Twitter 👉 ▪ Facebook 👉 ▪ Pinterest 👉 🚑MEDICAL DISCLAIMER This content is for educational and informational purposes only.
