How does lung cancer affect the respiratory system?

During my relative's treatment at Fortis, the pulmonologist showed us how the tumor restricts airways. If you are noticing persistent breathing issues, please consult a specialist clearly rather than guessing.

My father struggled with a constant dry cough and wheezing that never went away with regular inhalers. It was only when his breathing became very shallow that we discovered the tumor blocking his airway.

After my recent lobectomy to remove a localized tumor, my lung capacity was very low, causing rapid breathing. Daily pulmonary rehabilitation exercises have helped me slowly regain my breathing strength.

It directly reduces oxygen exchange in the alveoli, leading to chronic breathlessness and chest pain. If there's blood in the sputum or sudden breathlessness, skip home remedies and go to an emergency room.

It causes heavy congestion, wheezing, and a dry cough because the lungs are weak. While drinking warm herbal decoctions can soothe an irritated throat, you must immediately seek oncology care for cancer.

I was reading that it can cause fluid accumulation around the lungs, which makes expanding the chest very painful. It sounds like it completely compromises normal breathing functions over time.
