What are the advanced symptoms of small cell lung cancer? Pay attention to these five symptoms

In the late stage of small cell lung cancer, many patients' body functions begin to decline, and they will have symptoms such as coughing and coughing up blood, and will have obvious chest pain, shortness of breath and chest tightness, causing physical discomfort. Because the tumor compresses the nerves, it may even cause headaches and dizziness.

I believe everyone is familiar with lung cancer. The incidence and mortality of this disease are very high recently. Especially for those who live or work in a polluted environment for a long time and some long-term smokers, there is a great chance of small cell lung cancer. If the disease is not treated in time, it will cause the small cell lung cancer to worsen. So what are the symptoms of small cell lung cancer in the late stage?
1. Cough <br/>Cough is the most common symptom. After the onset of small cell lung cancer, there will be obvious cough. Many people will have irritating dry coughs. If the tumor continues to grow and compresses the trachea, it will cause strong and continuous coughs, causing the cough to worsen. And after the cough, a small amount of sticky sputum will appear. If there is a secondary infection, there will even be thick sputum coughed up.
2. Shortness of breath and chest tightness <br/>The presence of tumors can cause the bronchi to become narrow, and even lead to breathing difficulties, which can cause chest tightness and breathing difficulties in patients, and can also cause shortness of breath and breathing difficulties, affecting the patient's normal breathing. In addition, when the tumor metastasizes, it can cause obstruction of the hilum and lymph nodes, compressing the bronchi.
3. Coughing up blood <br/>After the onset of small cell lung cancer, not only will coughing occur, but also coughing up blood. Most patients will have blood in their sputum, and bloody sputum will appear intermittently. A few patients will experience severe hemoptysis because the cancer cells begin to metastasize and invade the large blood vessels.
4. Chest pain <br/>As the tumor begins to metastasize and invade the chest cavity, it will cause abnormalities in the pleura, ribs, or chest wall, resulting in varying degrees of chest pain and aggravated pleural pain.
5. Dizziness and headache <br/>When small cell lung cancer enters the late stage, many patients will begin to experience lack of energy, dizziness and headache. Because the venous cavity is compressed by the tumor, edema is likely to occur in the upper body, causing the veins in the neck to dilate, leading to congestion or varicose veins, and even dizziness and severe headaches.
