What are the symptoms of lung cancer?
My colleague has been coughing a lot and losing weight recently. He's a smoker, so we're all a bit worried. What are the general symptoms of lung cancer that we should know about?

Based on my interactions in this health forum, lung cancer often starts silently. The most common symptoms to watch out for are a cough that doesn't go away after 2-3 weeks, coughing up blood, sudden weight loss, and shortness of breath during normal daily activities. Please consult a pulmonologist for any such persistent signs.
Hey! Just wanted to share that persistent chest infections that keep coming back can also be a warning sign. Don't panic, but if you have a hoarse voice or chest pain when breathing, it's always best to get it checked by a doc! Stay happy and healthy! 🌸
I know how terrifying it is to look up these symptoms, your chest starts feeling tight just from the anxiety. Please remember that a chronic cough can be caused by simple allergies or pollution too. However, getting a chest X-ray done under a doctor's guidance will give you absolute peace of mind.
Look, let's not beat around the bush with serious stuff like this. If you are coughing up blood, experiencing sudden chest pain, or losing weight without dieting, stop browsing online. Go straight to a good hospital and get a CT scan done immediately.
When my family member went through a severe lung issue, the main indicators were a rattling cough that wouldn't stop and constant fatigue. It is so important to take these signs seriously, especially if there is pain when coughing or deep breathing. Please book a doctor's appointment right away.

A chronic cough that lasts more than three weeks and chest pain are major warning signs. Please visit a doctor immediately to get this checked.
My father went through lung cancer treatment, and his early symptom was just a persistent wheezing sound when breathing and slight hoarseness. We initially thought it was asthma, but a chest specialist diagnosed it correctly. Do not ignore a change in your voice or breathing patterns, early detection is key.
