What should I do if I suffer from chest tightness and shortness of breath due to lung cancer?

The treatment of asthma in patients with lung cancer should be determined according to different causes. If the lung cancer mass blocks the respiratory tract and causes pulmonary ventilation dysfunction, respiratory intervention therapy is required to place a tracheal stent to open the blocked respiratory tract and improve pulmonary ventilation function. At the same time, radiotherapy, chemotherapy and other methods should be used to reduce the mass and prevent the respiratory tract from being blocked again. If a patient with malignant lung disease is short of breath, the specific treatment method should be determined based on the patient's current clinical symptoms. Generally speaking, shortness of breath. Considering whether there is abnormal lung function, relevant examinations are needed to understand whether there are changes caused by airway obstruction or other reasons, and symptomatic treatment should be carried out according to the cause. Chest tightness and shortness of breath in lung cancer are mainly due to tumor compression. The tumor invades the alveoli, causing air accumulation in the chest cavity.
