When something is off with your lungs, it can signify that something serious is going on. It’s important to pay attention to these signs, as early detection can go a long way in helping to manage and treat conditions like lung disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and lung cancer—the leading cancer killer of men and women in the U.S. For this reason, you shouldn’t ignore anything like a chronic cough or reoccurring chest pain.
“If you keep having persistent symptoms, you should get checked more deeply, especially if you are a smoker or ex-smoker or have other risk factors,” says Miguel Villalona-Calero, M.D., deputy director and chief scientific officer at Miami Cancer Institute.
