Lung cancer typically doesn't show signs and symptoms in its earliest stages. At first your body may be able to repair this damage.

But with each repeated exposure, normal cells that line your lungs are increasingly damaged. Over time, the damage causes cells to act abnormally and eventually cancer may develop.

Study claims that almost 40% of patients suffering from lung cancer were diagnosed when the cancer has as evolved in the late 3rd stage.

That means that cancer cells are already difficult to cure. However, when detected early, it is very much curable.

Pay attention to these early and sometimes surprising signs of lung cancer, and be assertive about bringing anything suspicious to your doctor's attention.

1. Persistent Cough

Pay attention to the way you cough. If you suffer from cough even after two weeks it might indicate to lung cancer. If you cough out mucus it is mandatory to visit your doctor and make the relevant tests on your lungs and chest. If there are some other changes in your cough, such as: cough with hoarse sound, cough with blood or extreme mucus, then you must not waste anymore time and visit your doctor.

2. Weight Drop

When having lung cancer, you may experience sudden weight loss. This is due to cancer cells using body’s energy that has been obtained from food.

3. Shortness of Breath

Shortness of breath is another lung cancer symptom. So if due to some daily actions you feel out of breath, which did not make you feel like it before, such as bringing groceries, climbing up stairs or some other actions, then it is strongly recommended to visit your doctor.

4. Pain in the chest

Pain may be caused as a result of metastasis on the chests, lungs, or enlargement of the lymph nodes or the ribs.

It does not matter if you feel healthy, strong, constant or dull, what matters is that you must visit your doctor in order to make sure what is going on with your health condition.
