Lung cancer is a type of cancer that begins in the lungs, and smokers are more susceptible to it, and there are some symptoms that can appear when you wake up in the morning, as a warning sign that you have it, according to what was reported in the British newspaper “Express”.
While a persistent cough is a warning sign of lung cancer, other parts of your body may indicate that you are infected.
“Patients who have a terminal condition can notice symptoms right following they wake up,” explained Dr. Anita Raja.
And she continued, “Feeling tired and weak when waking up in the morning is a sign that should not be ignored.”
She said: “The patient may suffer from excessive sweating, as well as a fever, and if this is accompanied by a dry cough for more than 3 weeks or the presence of blood in the sputum, this may indicate lung cancer.”
She added, “Phlegm is a thick type of mucus produced in your lungs, so if you suffer from a chronic disease that targets the lungs, this makes you cough up phlegm, so you should consult a doctor if you suffer from any of these symptoms.”
Lung cancer also causes some symptoms, including:
A cough that does not go away following 3 weeks.
Long-term cough that gets worse.
chest infections
coughing up blood
Pain when breathing or coughing.
shortness of breath.
Constant fatigue.
lack of energy
Anorexia.
Unexplained weight loss.
changes in your fingers
whistling.
hoarse voice.
swelling in your face or neck;
Constant pain in the chest or shoulder.
However, there are usually no signs or symptoms of lung cancer in the early stages, which makes it difficult to detect the condition early, but there are several ways to reduce the risk:
1. Smoking is one of the factors that increase your risk of lung cancer, so you should quit it immediately.
2. Eat a healthy diet rich in fruits and vegetables.
