2. Peristent Cough

A stubborn cough that won’t seem to go away even with medication could be a sign that there is an issue in your lungs. Although coughs are mainly associated with a common cold or allergy, one that lasts longer than eight weeks is worrisome. A cough caused by lung issues is dry or productive and leaves your voice sounding hoarse and raspy.

Most lung cancer patients who also complain of cough report that although it occurs throughout the day, it gets significantly worse at night, leading to loss of sleep, fatigue, and loss of productivity and motivation as a result.
