Lung Cancer (Overview, Symptoms, Types, Diagnosing, Causes and Treatment)

Breathlessness

Breathlessness

Breathlessness is a common symptom among lung cancer patients, which shows the lungs’ inability to carry on the process of respiration. Breathlessness is one of the distressing symptoms of patients having lung cancer. The lung cancer patients face difficulty catching their breath and feel tightness around their chest due to the compromise of the healthy respiration system. The symptoms of breathlessness make the patient less active physically because it becomes challenging to breathe if the patient does some physical activity.
