Specific symptoms and manifestations of lung cancer

Do you know anything about lung cancer? Do you know the specific manifestations of lung cancer? The following is an introduction to the specific manifestations of lung cancer:

The symptoms of lung cancer are complex and often vary depending on the location, size, type, stage of development, and presence or absence of metastasis or complications. Symptoms of central lung cancer appear early and are obvious, while peripheral lung cancer has no symptoms in the early stages. It is generally believed that cough, hemoptysis, chest pain, fever, shortness of breath, etc. are common in various types of lung cancer.

(1) Cough: This is the most common early symptom. Patients often have paroxysmal choking coughs or obstructive coughs with high-pitched metallic sounds, without sputum or with only a small amount of white mucus sputum. If sputum stagnation turns into heat, the cough will intensify, and the sputum will be yellow, thick and sticky. Over time, both the lung yin and the lung qi will be damaged. If the lung yin is damaged, dry cough and hemoptysis will occur; if the lung qi is damaged, weak cough and shortness of breath will occur. In the late stage of the disease, weak cough, sitting up and panting, hoarseness, cyanosis of the lips, puffy face and swollen limbs and other symptoms of qi, blood, yin and yang are all weakened.

(2) Hemoptysis: It comes and goes, the amount can be large or small, the color can be bright red or dark, often with foam, or blood in the sputum is not mixed, and comes out with rotten flesh; the damage of large collaterals or the formation of cavities in the ruptured cancer nest can cause continuous bleeding, or blockage of the airway and suffocation, or sudden death due to loss of qi and blood. Hemoptysis caused by deficiency syndrome is often unable to stop on its own, and the sputum and blood are mixed, and it does not stop for a long time. However, it is often a mixture of deficiency and excess.

(3) Chest pain: Most patients experience chest pain of varying degrees. In the early stages of lung cancer, chest pain is not specific, but rather chest tightness and fullness. The pain is not fixed and is mostly caused by qi stagnation. In the late stages, the evil toxins penetrate the chest and blood stasis occurs. The pain is worse at night and is fixed, like a needle or a thorn. It may even last all day and is unbearable. In severe cases, the pain may break bones and flesh. The patient cannot be pressed or turned over due to the pain.

(4) Fever: It is a common symptom of lung cancer. It is usually caused by internal heat due to yin deficiency. Therefore, fever may occur in the afternoon or at night, or hot hands and feet, accompanied by irritability, night sweats, dry mouth, and dry throat. Fever can also be caused by internal obstruction of phlegm and blood stasis, or internal accumulation of toxic heat. The fever is strong and lasts for a long time.

(5) Shortness of breath: In the early stage, the vital energy is not greatly weakened, and the symptoms are high-pitched and rough breathing, chest tightness and shortness of breath, which are mostly seen in excess. In the late stage, the evil toxins are increasingly entrenched, and the qi and yin of the lungs are damaged, resulting in shortness of breath and wheezing with low and timid voices, chest tightness but not too urgent. Because there is not enough air to breathe, it is more severe when moving. When quiet, the patient prefers to lie down and cannot tolerate work, and the breath is weak. This is the excess of evil and the deficiency of vital energy.
