Top 10 Early Warning Signs of Lung Cancer | NEVER IGNORE THIS

What are the top early warning signs to look for with lung cancer? Watch this video to find out!

➡️ 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.

I have had two different lung cancer since 2019. And my only symptom was extreme tiredness. The second cancer occurred after deep sadness happened when I lost a friend. Once again now I'm cancer-free at this moment.

[minkorrh]

I smoked from 14 to 42, and add pot to that mix from age 19 to 42. As a former grower I smoked a ton of pot as it was always available.
Cancer is an IF, but COPD is a 'when', because if you're a smoker for more than 10-15 years, you will have some level of COPD..maybe even in less time. At 55 I smoke nothing but still imbibe a few beers and gummies. I'm not running any marathons if that says something to you. Alcohol is a major cause of inflammation which will definitely impede your lung function as I feel it the next day from even a single beer, and chronic inflammation is one of the major indicators for cancer of many types. I work a physical job and I feel exactly how my lungs are working every second of every day when I need to exert myself. Carrying on a conversation while I'm working isn't quite, but could be a non-starter. I need 30 seconds to catch my breath if I'm going to talk to you and complete a sentence after I work a bit. Than again, I'm not 20.
Don't smoke, and don't play games with your health, as it most certainly will come around to remind you as to why you should not have. It's literally the difference between 65 and 85. I feel I got lucky as I am still capable of anything, but it's catching up with me.
At 20 you may tell yourself and those around you that "I want to die young and bla, bla, When you get to age 50 you will start singing a different tune.

I have Stage 4 lung cancer...multiple tumors in my lungs, multiple tumors inmy liver and brain...a small lump close to my liver started growing at a rapid rate...I had a liver biopsy to shoe where the primary source of the cancer is..
The results showed my lungs..
I was diagnosed 10 weeks ago...
I have NOT experienced any one of warning signs you described, as a matter of fact I don't cough, no pain, no night sweets ect..I doubt I would have known about my lungs if it wasn't for my liver...😮

My father in law will have biopsy tomorrow hope his test will negative
Please pray for him…. He have some symptoms 😢

Most of these symptoms also correlate with Pulmonary Fibrosis. While coughing up blood is not a direct result of fibrosis, a chronic couch can result in blood streaks in mucus (if you have a productive cough). Weight loss is usually a symptom of advanced disease, but many do not get a diagnosis until that point. Pulmonary Fibrosis is a terminal disease with no cure. But early diagnosis can help prolong quality of life. There are therapies to slow progress, and they seem to be more effective with early intervention. Please do not ignore any of these symptoms. And do not hesitate to ask for referral to a good pulmonologist if you do not currently have one. Your primary care physician may be excellent, but PF is a rare disease, and doctors are trained to think “horses” rather than “zebra” when they “hear hoofbeats”. I know. I was misdiagnosed with various other lung diseases for years when I actually had Ideopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis.

My Dad had the cough..I remember him coughing in the morning. He went to see a Dr. and died three months later. He smoked winstons something he took up in the service. He died at 44. I think of him probably every day.

I lost my Aunt because of lung cancer 😢my Allah grant her jannah fridausi😢

[donnamachugh]

I only had a pain in my side after I tripped and fell onto my left sided rib. It persisted for about 2 weeks when I decided to see my doctor. I had no other symptoms! My doctor send me for an xray.I then had a CT scan, bloods taken, biopsies and a PET scan all within 4 weeks ! It was then I had SCLC, Metastases in the bone, still had no symptoms !!! Today 2 years after diagnosis.I still have no symptoms. Could it be I am just fortunate and because I refuse to let it bother me? I might have Cancer but Cancer doesn't have me!!!!

[GMackswife]

I had esophageal cancer, and on the day of surgery they told me I had lung cancer too, they removed it. I didn’t have anything symptoms 😢

[moriel]

*_My mother passed away from lung cancer and the only symptom was back pain._*

[meemeethecat]

I got a cough. And don't forget side effects from blood pressure medicine. Because that's when I start coughing all night.

[FullTimePatient]

Saying this with excitement....is just...😳

[AnnevanPaulus]

2:10 Night sweats is also with other cancer, sweat and extreme cold and hot exchange eatch other, feels so band! And with eating: I was very hungry and eated like a big man ( I am a little woman ) eating a lot and lost weight,

[truth]

Such a valuable video....thank you so much! ✨️✨️👍❤️

[robertpowell]

Some symptoms are similar to pleurisy and gall bladder problems. Even a CT scan showing 'non cancerous infection' was reversed by a second CT scan a few weeks later, showing 'more concern'. No coughing but pain in right chest, right shoulder and back.

My 71 year old father 🧓🏾 has lung 🫁 cancer for the past 2.5 years and he is getting treatment by infusion at Duke Cancer Center.
