EARLY SIGNS YOU HAVE LUNG CANCER

EARLY SIGNS YOU HAVE LUNG CANCER

Symptoms

Here is my list of early cancer symptoms that you should beware off

  • Stomach troubles due to excess calcium levels, a condition known as hypercalcemia, can lead to increased thirstiness and poor appetite.
  • Breathing difficulties or shortness.
  • Persistent wheezing coughs.
  • Hoarseness.
  • Frequent headaches.
  • Muscle, bone, and joint pain.
  • Unintended weight loss.
  • Regular respiratory infections like pneumonia and bronchitis.
  • Fatter, shinier, or curved fingernails.
  • Coughing blood.
  • Endless fatigue feelings.
  • Body imbalance

How Do They Differ from Less Serious Conditions?

Some of the early lung cancer symptoms, such as coughs, and shortness of breathing, can be similar to respiratory infections. However, the symptoms are more severe and persistent in lung cancer.

When Should You See a Doctor, And Why Is That Important

I recommend you seek medical help if you notice any of the above signs persist because cancer is easily managed when detected earlier than when it has spread.

Using the acquired academic and professional experience, I advise patients with various complaints about mental health - depressed mood, nervousness, lack of energy and interest, sleep disorders, panic attacks, obsessive thoughts and anxieties, difficulty concentrating, and stress. In my free time, I love to paint and go on long walks on the beach. One of my latest obsessions is sudoku – a wonderful activity to calm an unease mind.
