5 surprising symptoms of lung cancer

The British Express newspaper reported that British doctors have discovered some surprising symptoms that could indicate the development of lung cancer.

Specialists from the British “Roy Castle” center, which specializes in the fight against lung cancer, reported weight loss and frequent chest rhythm infections, as well as classic symptoms such as persistent cough, difficulty breathing and constant fatigue.

There are unnoticed symptoms such as an increase in the size of the fingertips and a change in their shape and curvature which can also indicate lung cancer.

According to doctors, the reason for these symptoms lies in the low amount of oxygen in the blood, which is often indicative of lung or heart disease.

Doctors recommend that you see a doctor if you have facial edema that has not occurred previously, as it could be related to the spread of lung cancer to nearby lymph nodes or blockage of the superior vena cava caused by pressure from the tumor.

Also, doctors recommend a medical examination if pain appears in the back and shoulders. This is a surprising symptom for patients because they usually consider lung cancer only to cause severe pain in the chest.
