10 Early Signs of Lung Cancer
Early Sign #6: Wheezing
As our lungs expand and contract, air is forced through our airways. Air is usually able to pass through quite freely, but if air is not able to pass so easily then it can cause the same amount of air to be forced through a smaller passage, and this can result in wheezing.
If you have developed a new wheeze that you did not have before, there is a chance that lung cancer is the cause. Medical professionals may prescribe medication that will help to keep the airways open, which can help to prevent the wheezing, while also trying to treat the underlying cause.
