What are the symptoms of lung stones?

In life, everyone should be very familiar with diseases such as gallstones and kidney stones, and the incidence of these diseases is also very high, but everyone may not be so familiar with lung stones, after all, this disease is not very common. Lung stones have a certain hereditary rate, and once you have lung stones, they are not easy to cure. Severe patients will eventually require a lung transplant. Let's take a look at the symptoms of lung stones.

Symptoms of lung stones:

Cough is a common symptom of lung stones. Mild dry cough and chest tightness may occur in the early stages, but are generally not taken seriously. As the disease progresses, chest tightness, shortness of breath, difficulty breathing after activity, and worsening cough gradually appear, accompanied by a small amount of mucous sputum. Hemoptysis is rare. In the late stage, symptoms worsen, with obvious dyspnea and cyanosis at rest, and secondary erythrocytosis may occur. If secondary lung infection occurs, there will be symptoms such as fever, increased cough, purulent sputum, and hemoptysis. Early signs are often absent, but as the disease progresses, low breath sounds and crackle rales may appear at the lung bases. During infection, rales may be heard in the lungs upon auscultation. After several years, dozens of years or even decades, it gradually develops into pulmonary hypertension, chronic cor pulmonale and respiratory failure.
