When to Get Tested for Lung Cancer
In early stages of lung cancer, you might not have any symptoms. Symptoms like a persistent cough can also look like other conditions, like bronchitis.
But we recommend you talk to your doctor about any of these possible lung cancer symptoms:
- A cough that won’t go away
- Shortness of breath or trouble breathing
- Getting winded quickly
- Chest pain that won’t go away
- Coughing up blood
- Hoarseness
- Fatigue and feeling tired
- Getting lung infections like pneumonia over and over
- Unexplained weight loss
Your doctor might recommend a chest X-ray or any of the tests above to look for possible issues in your lungs.
