“If you think that the most common symptoms of lung cancer involve the lungs, you’d be correct,” it said.
“In fact, persistent coughing, coughing up blood or excess mucus, shortness of breath, and chest pain are all common signs of lung cancer.
“What you might not know, however, is that lung cancer can cause some changes in the body that aren’t the obvious signs of chest pain or a cough that won’t go away.
“Know the symptoms to watch for, trust your instincts, and be sure to talk with your doctor about scheduling a lung cancer screening, if you are considered high risk.”
